Freiburg could be looking to improve their top-eight chances in the UEFA Europa League (UEL) with a big win over a struggling Maccabi Tel Aviv on Thursday in matchday seven. This match between the fifth-placed Breisgau-Brasilianer and the 35th-placed Yellows comes with our prediction of Freiburg -2 European Handicap.
With 14 points (W4, D2), Freiburg are one point behind first and are assured of at least a playoff spot. Maccabi’s tally of one point (D1, L5) is just one above the basement and can’t advance to directly to the round of 16.
Freiburg won 1-0 at home against Salzburg on matchday six for a third win in their last four games of this competition (D1). They have won all three of their home matches in the UEL League Phase.
The Germans come into this game with a 2-2 away draw against Augsburg which mean they failed to win three of their last five competitive games (W2, D2, L1).
Maccabi are all but out of contention for the playoffs, as they lost five UEL games in a row. That included a 4-1 away thrashing at Stuttgart on the last matchday, and they have conceded 3+ goals in four of those losses.
A 4-1 defeat to Maccabi Haifa in their last game was not an aberration, as the visitors have conceded 18 in the UEL League Phase.
