Prediction: 1-0
Freiburg
After outplaying Nantes in the last 32, Juventus will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Freiburg on Thursday evening. The Bianconeri suffered a 1-0 loss to Roma in the Serie A derby at the weekend, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Freiburg in the Europa League last 16, first leg. Fit-again winger Federico Chiesa is pushing for a start, while all Peeters, Milik, Kaio Jorge, and De Sciglio are out of contention with injuries.
Christian Streich’s men, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four Bundesliga game. Freiburg, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh misses out with injury for the away team. The two teams meet for the first time in the competition.
Highlighted Player (Paul Pogba):
After spending four seasons at Juventus, Paul Pogba returned to Manchester United in the summer of 2016. The French midfielder signed a five-year deal with the Premier League giants for a world-record fee of €105 million. He set an all-time record for highest football transfer fee, surpassing Gareth Bale, the former record holder. However, he missed the 2016/2017 Premier League opener against Bournemouth through suspension.
Pogba was born in Lagny-sur-Marne, France on 15 March, 1993 and he represents les Tricolores on the international stage. He won the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup with France, while making it to the Euro 2016 final with Didier Deschamps’ troops. However, they were beaten by Portugal in the title game at Stade de France.
It has to be noted that Paul Pogba won four Serie A trophies with Juventus. He produced a fine display in the 2013/2014 Champions League final against Barcelona, but Juve suffered a 3-1 loss to Barca in the Olympiastadion Berlin clash. Pogba is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as an attacking and a defensive midfielder as well.
