The German side Freiburg currently sits in third place in the Europa League group with one match remaining, making it almost certain that the Bundesliga team will secure direct qualification for the Round of 16. Freiburg is one of three teams yet to lose in this Europa League campaign, having won five times, most recently by a single goal in the 82nd minute from Matanovic to defeat Israeli side Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Now, Freiburg travels to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy in France to face Lille, who desperately need a win to avoid relying on other results and advance to the next round in the group of teams ranked 9th to 24th.
Last weekend, Lille suffered a heavy defeat at home against Strasbourg in Ligue 1, a 1-4 loss in which Fernández-Pardo scored the late consolation goal. This result continues Les Dogues' nightmarish 2026, having lost every match since the start of the new year. To make matters worse, German teams appear to be their weakness in Europe, having only managed one victory against Bundesliga opposition in 11 attempts.

Our Lille vs Freiburg Prediction
Freiburg's 22-year-old Croatian striker, Igor Matanovic, scored the winning goal against Cologne, a crucial goal, as were the other three he scored in January, all of which came after the 60th minute.
Freiburg have already visited France for a Europa League match, securing a 3-1 away win against Nice. The Bundesliga side will be looking to finish their already successful league campaign strong against a Lille team that will be without Igamane due to a knee injury; another Moroccan striker, Sahraoui, is also doubtful.
Our prediction for Lille vs Freiburg is: Freiburg to win or draw.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
