SC Freiburg vs Celta Vigo

Freiburg welcome Celta Vigo to the Europa-Park-Stadion for the first leg of their UEFA Europa League quarter-final clash on Thursday night.

The hosts are making their first-ever appearance at this stage of any European tournament. Celta, meanwhile, will look to take home a first-leg advantage with the hopes of reaching the semis for the first time since the 2016/17 campaign.

Freiburg News

Freiburg will be looking to return to winning ways after their recent defeat in the Bundesliga, marking their fourth loss in seven competitive matches. They were beaten 3-2 by league leaders Bayern Munich after squandering a 2-0 second-half lead.

The Breisgau Brazilians secured their place in the Europa League last eight following a 5-2 aggregate win over Genk. They have fared well in the competition so far, amidst their poor domestic campaign, winning six of their 10 UEL matches. However, they have managed only four wins in their last 10 games in all competitions, scoring in six of those games and conceding in each one.

Julian Schuster’s men have also claimed only one win in their last four home games, but have scored at least twice in four of their last five. Albeit the recent slump, they can be hopeful going into this one, having won their last nine UEL home games. Freiburg have seen multiple open contests in recent games, with over 2.5 goals appearing in six of their last 10.

Celta Vigo News

Celta Vigo have managed two wins in their last three matches and head to Germany off the back of a 3-2 comeback win over Valencia at the weekend.

Despite struggling in the UEL league phase, the Sky Blues are unbeaten in their last four matches in the competition, managing three wins. A strong performance in France earned them a 3-1 aggregate victory over Lyon to reach this stage. They have won six of their last 10 outings, finding the net in each of those games and keeping just three clean sheets.

Claudio Giraldez's side have hit the road with confidence in recent weeks, and are currently unbeaten in their last eight away matches in all competitions. They managed to win four of their last five away fixtures while netting at least twice in five of their last six. They have also won their last two away UEL games, with over 2.5 goals produced in five of their last 10 outings.

Head to Head

This will be the first official meeting between these two sides. Meanwhile, Freiburg have faced Spanish opposition twice, losing to Sevilla in the 2013/14 UEL campaign.
