Match Time & Date:

15:30
Prediction: 1-1
Freiburg
Wolfsburg play host to Freiburg at their Volkswagen Arena on day 16 of the 2022/2023 Bundesliga campaign. The Wolves are on a four-game winning run in the German top flight, and they must be high on confidence ahead of Saturday’s clash. Egypt international Omar Marmoush has overcome his injury, but Lukas Nmecha remains in the recovery room.
Christian Streich’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Union Berlin, but beating Wolfsburg on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the cards, and we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in the opening match of 2023. All Roland Sallai, Philipp Lienhart, Yannik Keitel, and Kimberly Ezekwem are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Nils Petersen):
Son to a football coach, Andreas, the Freiburg striker Nils Petersen is a physical forward best known for his clinical finishing. A former Bayern Munich striker never got a chance to prove his worth with Bundesliga giants and had to take a long road to prominence which included loan spells at Werder Bremen and Freiburg, before penning a permanent deal with Die Breisaguer in 2015.
Petersen’s impressive exploits during the 2017/18 season helped him get into Germany’s provisional FIFA World Cup 2018 squad although his father Andreas would argue it was his personal influence that helped Joachim Loew write his son’s name in the 23-man list. Namely, Andres Piteresen spotted the Germany manager on a beach in January and decided to ask him about his son’s chances of making it into Germany World Cup squad.
Piteresen was rewarded with his senior Germany cap in an Austria friendly but unfortunately for his father missed out on the final squad for the tournament in Russia.
