Europa League Quarter-Final Betting Preview: Freiburg vs Celta Vigo

German Bundesliga outfit Freiburg host Spanish La Liga side Celta Vigo in the first leg of this Europa League quarter-final at Europa-Park Stadion, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Thursday 9 April.

The betting sites might have been too generous with their odds of -130 when it comes to the BTTS Yes selection. We can’t see any reason why Freiburg and Celta Vigo won’t find the net.

Freiburg come into this tie eighth in the Bundesliga with 37 points from 28 games, while Celta Vigo sit sixth in La Liga with 44 points from 30 matches.

Freiburg lost 3-2 at home to Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich at the Europa-Park Stadion in their last game. The Breisgau-Brazilians ended up with just 30% possession and had four shots on target, while Johan Manzambi and Lucas Hoeler scored one goal each.

Celta won their previous game. It was on the road where Valencia were beaten 3-2 at Estadio Mestalla in La Liga. Claudio Giraldez's side enjoyed 58% possession and managed five shots on goal, while Ilaix Moriba, Fer Lopez and Williot Swedberg were all on target.

In the Europa League round of 16, Freiburg beat Belgian Pro League side Genk 5-2 over two legs, while Celta secured a 3-1 aggregate win over French Ligue 1 club Lyon.

Corners Prediction

Under 8.5 Corners -105

Each of the past six Celta Vigo games have involved the 8.5 Total Corners line not being covered, with four of the previous five Freiburg home matches having the same result. The Total Corners line looks to be too high given the stats and -105 is available to wager.

Freiburg vs Celta Vigo Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

With a 46% prospect of triumphing according to the 1x2 odds, Freiburg are favourites to come out on top in the first leg and the Breisgau-Brazilians are available at +118 with the bookmakers. Celta Vigo are seen as the most unlikely winner at +240.

If you think that Freiburg are able to beat Celta, then the -116 could be the option for you on the Asian Handicap -0.25. Built into this bet is the half stake refund should the scoreline end level.

For those expecting a low-scoring contest, Under 2.5 is the market leader on the Total Goals market. If you’re looking to wager on Both Teams to Score, there’s not a lot of difference between Yes and No.
