Freiburg host Celta Vigo in the UEFA Europa League<\/a> on Thursday as the pair face off in the first leg of their quarter-final tie.

Kick-off is at 20:00 on Thursday, 9 April, and with no recent head-to-head history, this clash will be a fascinating test of both teams\u2019 credentials.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Freiburg to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n13\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(43.5%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Freiburg to win because they’ve conceded just 0.6 goals per Europa League match (6 in 10), with 4 clean sheets, and their xG is higher than Celta’s despite scoring fewer goals. Home advantage and defensive consistency tilt this in their favour.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here as both sides average over a goal per game in Europe. Celta Vigo have scored in all but one of their 12 matches, while Freiburg’s attack is backed by a strong xG. Defences are strong, but attacking quality and chance creation suggest both can find the net.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
