Our prediction for this Europa League match:
All eyes will be on Europa-Park Stadion when Freiburg and West Ham face each other in the Group A derby. Freiburg proved their worth in a 3-2 win over Olympiakos in their Europa League opener, but they face a difficult task against the Hammers. Yannik Keitel limped off with injury in a 2-0 win over Augsburg at the weekend, with Merlin Rohl likely to step up.
The Premier League outfit, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 2-0 win over Sheffield United at the weekend. David Moyes’ men aim to retain top position in Group A, but beating Freiburg on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Left-back Aaron Cresswell has yet to overcome a hamstring injury, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
