West Ham United

West Ham approaches the final round in the first position in the table, but they only lead “Freiburg” due to a victory in the head-to-head encounter in the first round. To maintain their top spot, the “Hammers” only need to secure a draw. However, throughout the entire tournament, they have not settled for a draw even once, with four victories and a loss away to “Olympiacos” with a score of 1-2. In the last two rounds of the UEFA Europa League, David Moyes’ team played very pragmatically, strictly focused on results, securing 1-0 victories over “Olympiacos” and “Bachka Topola.” In the Premier League, they suffered a crushing defeat in the previous match, a London derby against “Fulham” (0-5). Despite this, the team currently holds the ninth position in the league table after 16 rounds.

Freiburg

Freiburg confidently secured their place in the UEFA Europa League knockout stage by earning 12 points in five rounds. To claim the top position, they need to defeat their direct competitor today. Throughout the group stage, the “Brazilians from Breisgau” suffered only one defeat, precisely against today’s opponent at home with a score of 1-2. In the last UEFA Europa League round, Christian Streich’s team crushed “Olympiacos” at home (5-0). Freiburg’s unbeaten streak currently stands at four games in all competitions. Moreover, in the previous three matches, the team achieved “clean sheet” victories. Thanks to these recent successes, they climbed to the eighth position in the Bundesliga, with a modest two-point gap from the European qualification zone
