Our prediction for this Europa League match:
All eyes will be on Europa-Park Stadion when Freiburg and Juventus face each other in the Europa League last 16, second leg. Freiburg need a big win over Juve in Thursday’s clash if they are to advance to the quarter-finals. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Philipp Lienhart remain in the recovery room.
The Bianconeri, on the other hand, are eager to defend their slim lead in the return leg, and they are likely to adopt a defence-minded approach this time out. Both Juan Cuadrado and Manuel Locatelli should be recalled to the starting XI after the duo came from the bench in a 4-2 win over Sampdoria, whereas Moise Kean is back from the domestic ban. All Pogba, Milik, Di Maria, Chiesa, and Ales Sandro should miss out with injuries. Anyhow, under 2.5 goals betting option should be considered as Juve would be happy with a goalless draw.
