Lille vs Freiburg prediction

Bruno Genesio is coming under a bit of pressure at Lille with the hosts coming into this one on the back of a 4-1 hammering of Strasbourg at Stade Pierre-Mauroy last week. The home team have now managed just three victories in their last eight matches across all competitions since early-December.

Freiburg, under the management of Julian Schuster, have been very impressive in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League with five victories and two draws in their seven league phase matches. They defeated Maccabi Tel-Aviv by a goal to nil last week before a 2-1 win over Cologne in the Bundesliga.

The form of the two sides would suggest that siding with Freiburg is the way to go for this one as they eye up potentially finishing at the top of the 36-team UEL table. 

Lille vs Freiburg tip: Double chance – Freiburg to win or draw
