Europa League
These teams have not faced each other on the field before. The absence of a history of confrontations makes the prediction challenging. However, the current form of the teams in the season might give us some clues. The main advantage for "Lance" is their home ground, which can make the task a bit more challenging for Freiburg.
Lens
Lance fought in the Champions League for a spot in the playoffs but ultimately fell short by one point behind PSV, finishing third. Now, the team will play in the knockout stages of the Europa League for the first time in its history. Approaching the upcoming European competition, Frank Hesse’s wards are on a three-match winning streak in Ligue 1. Thanks to this, “Lance” managed to climb to the seventh position. Today, due to suspension, central defender Facundo Medina will not play, which is a significant loss.
Freiburg
Freiburg finished confidently in second place in their Europa League group. The German team secured four victories and suffered two defeats, with their only losses coming from the group leader, West Ham. It’s worth noting the high-scoring performance of the “Brazilian team from Breisgau” – 17 goals scored in six matches. In the Bundesliga throughout the season, Freiburg has not been particularly consistent and currently occupies the seventh position after 21 rounds. Moreover, Christian Streich’s team has suffered defeats in three consecutive rounds.
Prediction
In the upcoming match, two fairly evenly matched opponents, who haven't demonstrated significant stability throughout the season, will face each other. However, "Lance," benefiting from the home field advantage and a three-match winning streak, is considered the favorite according to bookmakers. Nevertheless, in terms of potential, "Freiburg" is not inferior to the representative of Ligue 1 and can focus and perform at its best in a single match. Given the offered odds, we recommend a prediction for the guests not to lose. Our prediction is "Freiburg" not to lose with odds of 2.10. There is a high probability that "Freiburg" will adopt a defensive strategy in the away match, especially considering the upcoming return leg at home. "Lance" is unlikely to take unjustified risks. We expect no more than two goals in the upcoming game. The second bet is the total under 2.5 goals at 1.93. Place a bet on the line of 1xBet with odds of 2.10.
