Motherwell will look to claim a major scalp when they face Freiburg in the Conference League playoffs, first leg. However, we predict a 2-1 away win as Freiburg chiefs did well to reinforce the squad. The Scottish side eliminated HJK in the third qualifying round, although they suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Stenhousemuir in the League Cup at the weekend. Motherwell have generally been solid at home, winning 50% of their last 10 there and keeping a clean sheet in 75% of those matches. Ibrahim Said will be the man to watch after scoring a brace against HJK, and the hosts will hope he can cause further problems for the German defence.
Freiburg, meanwhile, head into their European opener in excellent preseason form, winning each of their last three warm-up games. They defeated Strasbourg twice before cruising to a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace in their final preparation match. The German side have strengthened with the likes of Keisuke Goto, Yannik Engelhardt and Rihito Yamamoto, while Swiss youngster Johan Manzambi has moved to Aston Villa. However, Freiburg's away record in their last 10 is concerning, with four defeats from four and 2.75 goals conceded per game.
Given the huge gap in quality between the two teams, Away Win is our main betting tip for this Conference League encounter, alongside Freiburg Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals (Freiburg's last 10 matches have averaged 3.4 goals).
This Europa Conference League match will be played on Thursday 20 August 2026 at 19:30.
