Freiburg host Genk in a finely poised Europa League<\/a> clash this Thursday, with kick-off at 5:45. The sides met just days ago, Genk edging the first leg 1-0 at home. Now, Freiburg return to their own turf looking to overturn a narrow deficit, while Genk bring the competition’s most prolific attack among the two. With both teams neck-and-neck in seasonal form but showing contrasting strengths, this is set up as a classic attack-versus-defence battle at the Europa-Park Stadion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

(50.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nFreiburg have failed to score in their last meeting with Genk (0-1) and have underperformed their expected goals all season. With both sides averaging four clean sheets in Europe, the value is on at least one team drawing a blank again.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

(57.9%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nGenk’s matches average over 2.9 goals per game in Europe this season, and they have created 35 big chances in 13 matches. While Freiburg are more defensive, the need to chase the tie could open things up late on.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
