Both VfL Wolfsburg and SC Freiburg have had a similar time of things in the Bundesliga as both clubs have managed to establish themselves as top-tier sides, although they have both flirted with the possibility of relegation in recent years as well.
Die Wӧlfe have had their struggles in recent campaigns as the club have seen their finishing positions in the top-flight fluctuate over the years, providing their passionate fanbase with no real stability or sense as to what to expect when they witness their side in action. European football can be on the cards at one moment, however playing football in 2. Bundesliga has also been a possibility as well, with the club saving themselves no fewer than twice in recent years.
Freiburg are the exact same as Wolfsburg and their fans had even managed to come up with a chant that accurately described their up-and-down movements in the Bundesliga. When translated to English, it went “We go down, we go up, we go into the UEFA Cup!" which echoed around stadiums around the 1990s.
VfL Wolfsburg play their home matches at the Volkswagen Arena; a stadium that has all the potential to make visiting teams feel extremely uncomfortable when they take to the pitch because of the 30,000 fans able to fit in the ground.
With both sides fairly similar in stature and league standings each season, there have been a varied number of different results produced when Die Wӧlfe host the contests. Victories of 3-1 and 3-0 have all been recorded, whilst there have also been a 1-3 defeat in recent memory likely to be remembered by Wolfsburg fans as well. Unsurprisingly, there have been a number of high-scoring draws between the two sides as well, with 2-2 results having been a common theme.
VfL Wolfsburg versus SC Freiburg certainly has all the potential to be a classic on the pitch for both sets of supporters when this fixture is played at the Volkswagen Arena, despite the unpredictability of the tie throughout history. Nonetheless, goals appear to be expected, which can help make the atmosphere generated by the 30,000 supporters in the stadium all the better.
