    The players are ready, so are we, let's go for a great game! Wolfsburg begins the play.
     
    Freiburg plays in full red with some white markings, the away side's in full white.
     
    Welcome from Freiburg, it's Bundesliga-time this Sunday afternoon. The away side plays without the playmaker Diego, who's got an injury, so it's not a question anymore that Caligiuri or Perisic is on the starting lineup – both will playing.
     
    Starting lineups:

    SC Freiburg: Baumann – Sorg, Hohn, Diagne, Gunter – Ginter, Hofler – Fernandes, Coquelin – Darida, Mehmedi
    Subs: Batz (GK), Krmas, Lorenzoni, Kerk, Pilar, Guede, Hanke

    VfL Wolfsburg: Benaglio – Ochs, Naldo, Knoche, Rodriguez – Luiz Gustavo, Medojevic – Caligiuri, Arnold, Perisic – Olic
    Subs: Grun (GK), Klose, Schafer, Evseev, Koo, Dost, Kutschke

    Referees: Kircher – Brand, Achmüller – Kampka.
     
    They met each other 20 times so far, Freiburg won 9 games, Wolfsburg 5, with 6 draws.
     
    Wolfsburg's season is much better so far, they have 23 points and the 6th place on the table. If they'll win this game, they can overtake Schalke on the 5th position; that's a great chance for the "Wolves". Polak, Trasch and Vieirinha is injured, and Manager Hecking must choose between Caligiuri and Perisic on the left wing.
     
    SC Freiburg have taken only 11 points from the possible 42, so they're on the 16th position, which will mean two added relegation-games by the end of the season. There are many injured players now, Hedenstad, Mujdza, Schmid, Schuster and Terrazzino can't play this year.
     
    On this Sunday afternoon we present you a German Bundesliga game. It's Week 15 now, and this match goes between Freiburg and Wolfsburg.
     
    Welcome. Game starts at 15:30.
