Two camps who will get their respective Europa League quarter-final adventures underway on Thursday night, Freiburg will welcome Celta Vigo to Germany for their first-leg battle.
Suffering a spectacular late collapse against reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on their return from March’s international break last weekend, Freiburg will know the importance of claiming an immediate response here.
Although Celta Vigo might travel over to Germany in midweek pencilled in as a real underdog contender, the Sky Blues have continued to impress with their success outside of Galicia and they could be smelling the chance to lay down a real marker on foreign soil.
Ahead of what could be an enjoyable Europa League on Thursday night, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Freiburg vs Celta Vigo Bet Builder Tips.
A lively affair from Germany
Suffering a major late collapse over the weekend as they eventually marked their return from March’s international break with a rollercoaster 3-2 loss at the hands of Bayern Munich, Freiburg chant afford to show any signs of a hangover here.
Despite extending on their Europa League adventure last month as they secured a 5-2 aggregate victory against Belgium-based outfit Genk, Julian Schuster’s side have gained a reputation for their lively outcomes.
Heading into March’s fortnight interval with a 2-1 victory away at St. Pauli, Freiburg’s last three appearances across all competitions have produced 14 goals at both ends of the pitch.
Likewise, watching Celta play out a five-goal thriller away at Valencia on Sunday afternoon, neutrals will be hoping for another Europa League thriller from the Europa-Park Stadion in midweek.
It should also be highlighted, Thursday’s guests have seen six of their last seven matchups across all formats finish with both teams finding the net.

Celta’s extended success on the road
Although Celta Vigo might get their Europa League quarter-final adventure underway pencilled in as a real underdog contender on foreign soil, Thursday’s guests could be smelling a potential opportunity in Germany.
Marking their respective return from March’s international break with a rollercoaster 3-2 victory away at Valencia over the weekend, Claudio Giraldez’s camp will be dreaming of a repeat performance here.
Making a real European statement last month as they sent French giants Lyon packing thanks to a stellar 3-1 aggregate win, Celta have continued to impress with their success on the road.
Including a 2-1 victory against Girona last month, the Sky Blues have won four of their previous five showdowns outside of Galacia and they will be confident of asking some serious questions.
Likewise, Giraldez’s men are also unbeaten in all of their last eight consecutive matchups away from Baladios across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to January 25th.

Keep an eye out for Matanovic
If Freiburg are to claim what would be a crucial first-leg advantage on Thursday night, then their attacking talisman will need to play a leading role.
Forced to settle for a spot on the bench against Bayern Munich over the weekend and only making a brief 13-minute cameo appearance, Igor Matanovic will certainly be handed an immediate full recall here.
Finding the net while away with Croatia last week, the 23-year-old has enjoyed a bright maiden campaign at the Europa-Park Stadion after completing a permanent switch from Eintracht Frankfurt last summer.
Heading into March’s international break by bagging both goals during Freiburg’s 2-1 victory away at St. Pauli, Matanovic has now registered four goals in his last three starts for club and country.
Leading the chase for Freiburg’s Golden Boot this season and bagging a second Europa League strike against Genk last month, the eight-cap international will shoulder plenty of Freiburg’s goalscoring threat.
