The Europa League match between Freiburg and Olympiacos will take place at Europa-Park Stadion on Thursday at 11:15 pm IST.
Freiburg aims to cement their spot in the Europa League knockout stages as they host Olympiacos at Europa-Park Stadion in their second-to-last Group A match on Thursday. On the other hand, Olympiacos understands that securing a victory in Germany is imperative to maintain their faint chances of securing a top-two finish in the group.
After a resounding 5-0 triumph over Backa Topola in the Europa League, Freiburg faced setbacks in the Bundesliga with a 3-1 loss to RB Leipzig and a 1-1 draw against SV Darmstadt 98. Despite a winless league run of four matches, they excel in the Europa League, joint-top in Group A with three victories in four games. Currently ninth in the Bundesliga, Freiburg aims to secure qualification to the knockout rounds by avoiding defeat against Olympiacos. With a historical advantage, having not lost in their last three European encounters with Olympiacos, including a 3-2 away win in the reverse fixture, Freiburg eyes a top spot in the group.
Olympiacos faced mixed results in the Europa League, securing a 2-1 home win over West Ham but suffering a 1-0 defeat in London. Currently third in Group A, they risk dropping to the Europa Conference League playoffs. To contend for a top-two finish, Olympiacos must defeat Freiburg and Backa Topola in their remaining group games. Responding to their West Ham loss with Greek Super League victories, including a 3-1 win against league leaders Panathinaikos, boosted their confidence. Despite their recent European away struggles and a challenging record against German clubs, Olympiacos aims to reverse the trend against Freiburg.
Freiburg probable starting lineup: Atubolu, Ginter, Lienhart, Gulde, Doan, Eggestein, Hofler, Weisshaupt, Holer, Grifo, Gregoritsch
Olympiacos probable starting lineup: Paschalakis, Rodinei, Porozo, Retsos, Ortega, Alexandropoulos, Camara, Hezze, Podence, El Kaabi, Fortounis
