Celta Vigo have been delivering robust performances away from home, remaining unbeaten since January. In their last eight away games, half have ended in a draw. Meanwhile, Freiburg exhibit a pattern of inconsistency. As the two teams prepare to face off, predictions favor a draw with both teams scoring. For bettors, considering Celta Vigo's defensive resilience and Freiburg's fluctuating form, wagering on a draw or a result where both teams score appears to be a prudent choice.

Celta Vigo are doing well in these playoff matches, approaching them with a clear plan and strong defensive execution. Freiburg can’t be trusted at the moment, so I think a scoring draw is likely in Germany. 

Key Stats  


  • Freiburg are winless in 5 of their last 7 matches. 
  • Freiburg have seen BTTS in their last 3 matches. 
  • Celta Vigo are unbeaten in 9 of their last 11 matches. 
  • Celta Vigo have seen BTTS in 6 of their last 7 matches. 

No Previous Meetings 


This is going to be the first head to head match between Freiburg and Celta Vigo. 

Freiburg Lacking Consistency 


Freiburg were beaten 1-0 by Genk in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16, but delivered an outstanding performance at home and won 5-1 to advance. 

Their recent form in the Bundesliga has been quite inconsistent, especially at home where they are winless in three straight matches. 

Last weekend, Julian Schuster’s side hosted Bayern Munich and held a two-goal advantage for 81 minutes before collapsing defensively and conceding three goals (2-3 FT). They finished the match with an xG of 1.84 to 3.00, 30% possession, and 4-9 shots on target. 

Celta Scoring a Lot of Goals Lately 


Celta Vigo were not favored to eliminate Lyon in the previous round, especially after the first game in Spain ended 1-1. The Sky Blues capitalized on one-man advantage in France and won 2-0, limiting opposition to just one shot on target. 

Their recent La Liga results have been inconsistent, grabbing four points from last four league games, wrapping up the previous month with a 4-3 home loss to Alaves wasting a 3-0 lead. 

Last weekend, Claudio Giraldez’s side returned to winning ways once again in dramatic fashion, beating Valencia 3-2 at Mestalla, Kourouma Moriba and WIlliot Swedberg registering one goal and one assist each. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Freiburg (4-2-3-1): Noah Atubolu, Philipp Treu, Matthias Ginter, Philipp Lienhart, Christian Gunter, Maximilian Eggestein, Johan Manzambi, Jan Niklas Beste, Yuito Suzuki, Vincenzo Grifo, Igor Matanovic

Patrick Osterhage, Jordy Makengo and Max Rosenfelder are ruled out for Freiburg due to injuries, while Lucas Holder is doubtful.

Celta Vigo (3-4-3): Ionut Radu, Javi Rodriguez, Joseph Aidoo, Marcos Alonso, Oscar Mingueza, Hugo Sotelo, Ilaix Moriba, Sergio Carreira, Fer Lopez, Williot Swedberg, Borja Iglesias

Javi Rueda is serving a one-game suspension, while Miguel Roman, Mihailo Ristic and Matias Vecino are injured. Iago Aspas and Carl Starfelt are doubtful.

Verdict

Celta Vigo are unbeaten on the road since January, four of the last eight outings ending without a winner. Freiburg are inconsistent lately, so a draw and BTTS look like best betting options here.
