Freiburg returned to Bundesliga action in January with a win against Hamburg, but recent league defeats against RB Leipzig and Augsburg dealt significant blows to their hopes of finishing in the Bundesliga's top five. Therefore, Freiburg will be delighted to turn their attention back to the Europa League on Thursday, where they have performed so well, having recently defeated Salzburg 1-0 at the Europa-Park Stadion in their last continental match. They will then host Maccabi Tel Aviv there, marking Freiburg's first-ever encounter with an Israeli club.
FC Brugge is considered a likely dark horse in the betting odds to win this Europa League, having remained one of only four unbeaten teams in the competition after six matches. At home, in the European context, Firbugo is so effective that it boasts a streak of 7 consecutive home wins in continental matches, the best streak for any Bundesliga team since 2000.

Our Freiburg vs Maccabi Tel Aviv FC Prediction
Maccabi Tel Aviv, on the other hand, has been a disappointing team in Europe; in the 2015-2016 Champions League season, they also had a forgettable campaign, losing all their matches. This time around, they have lost their last five Europa League games and show no signs of recovery after conceding four goals in their recent Israeli league match.
History is clear when it shows that Maccabi Tel Aviv traveled to Germany four times to face Bundesliga clubs in European competition and lost every time.
Our prediction for Freiburg vs Maccabi Tel Aviv is: Freiburg -2.5.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
