German Bundesliga side Freiburg and Belgian giants Genk will play the second leg of this Europa League fixture on Thursday evening at the Europa-Park-Stadion. Freiburg FC will come into this clash looking to overturn their painful 1-0 defeat in the reverse fixture last week. They managed to match the hosts in almost every aspect, although Genk scored in the 24th minute to gain the advantage. Still, Julian Schuster will be impressed by their performance that night.

Genk will, of course, be the team to beat on Thursday night. Niky Hayen’s men reached this stage of the competition after overwhelming GNK Zagreb 6-4 on aggregate during the playoffs. Before that, they tried to stage a comeback during the league phase by winning four of their last five assignments, although it wasn’t enough to avoid the playoffs. This is the first time in 9 years that the Belgians have made an appearance in the Europa League Round of 16.

Our Freiburg vs Genk Prediction

Bookmakers believe that SC Freiburg will turn things around, listing them as the warm -186 betting favorites. Julian Shuster’s men had a strong league phase campaign despite their last two Europa League games ending in defeats. They’ll need to score more goals to fend off the Belgians after scoring just two goals in their last five Europa League matches. However, they boast one of the best defences in this competition, having conceded just 2 goals in their last five games. Freiburg will know that the Belgians are sharp in attack after scoring over 1.5 goals in four of their last five Europa League matches. That’s why we predict a cagey 1-1 tie, with Genk progressing to the next round.

Our prediction for Freiburg vs Genk: Under 2.5 goals.

Prediction:
