Our prediction for this Europa League match:
A place in the Europa League last 16 will be at stake when Freiburg and Lens square off against each other at Europa-Park Stadion on Thursday afternoon. Freiburg have been scoring goals for fun at home of late and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against Lens. Austria forward Michael Gregoritsch is pushing for a start, while Merlin Rohl is back from the domestic ban.
Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, failed to impress in a goalless draw with Freiburg in the first leg, with the team taking only one shot on target and given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Bundesliga outfit. As for the Ligue 1 side, defender Facundo Medina returns from suspension, while both Jimmy Cabot and Deiver Machado remain on the sidelines with injuries.
