Besiktas Park will be the centre of attention when Freiburg and Aston Villa face each other in the Europa League final. As Aston Villa are a more experienced side than Freiburg, we predict a 2-1 away win. Freiburg proved their worth in the semi-final double-header against Braga and will fancy their chances after scoring 1.8 goals per game across their last ten matches. However, the Germans have managed just one clean sheet in that run, while both teams scored in 80% of those fixtures. To make matters worse, forward Yuito Suzuki remains sidelined for the nominal hosts.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, travel to Istanbul determined to crown an impressive European campaign with silverware. Unai Emery is eyeing his fifth Europa League trophy and the Spaniard can rely on a strong squad, with only Amadou Onana unavailable. Emiliano Buendia, who scored a wonder goal in a 4-2 win over Liverpool at the weekend, should recover in time to face Freiburg. The Villa's average 2.3 goals per game from their last ten outings, but their away form has been inconsistent, winning only 20% of those matches and failing to keep a clean sheet on the road.
As Emery’s European experience should prove decisive in the title game, Away Win should be considered, alongside BTTS and Over 2.5 goals (recent matches for both sides have been high-scoring).
This Europa League match will be played on Wednesday 20 May 2026 at 20:00.
