SC Freiburg will host Olympiacos in a UEFA Europa League fixture at Europa-Park Stadion on Thursday night. The hosts have already secured a place in the knockout stages of the competition, having won all four games thus far and the German outfit can seal top spot in Group G if they can win against the Greek side at home. Olympiacos, meanwhile, have already been eliminated from the competition and are sitting at the bottom of the group with just one point to their name. Freiburg are heading into the match on the back of a 2-0 win over Werder Bremen in a Bundesliga match on Saturday, while the visitors beat Panetolikos with a similar scoreline in a Greece Super League game on the same day.

Freiburg have had a stupendous Europa League campaign thus far, having sealed a spot in the last-16 with two games remaining. The Bundesliga outfit still require two points to ensure they advance in top spot. Breisgau-Brasilianer secured an aggregate 6-0 win against Nantes in their last two games, home and away. Freiburg netted four times without reply against the Ligue 1 outfit in Nantes on October 13. Lukas Kubler opened the scoring, Michael Gregoritsch doubled the lead, Castellaetto netted an own goal before Jeong Woo- yeong’s late strike completed the drubbing at Stade de la Beaujoire. Meanwhile, in their last outing against Werder Bremen, second-half goals from Lukas Kubler and Vincenzo Grifo helped the Christian Streich’s side secure a sixth victory in 11 Bundesliga fixtures this season.
Olympiacos, on the other hand, have lost three of their four European games this term. The Greek’s outfit earned their solitary Europa League point courtesy of a goalless draw against Qarabag last time out. Meanwhile the reverse fixture against Freiburg last month ended in a disappointing 3-0 defeat. The poor start to the season saw them sacking Carlos Corberan and replacing the Spaniard with Michel last month. Under the 59-year-old’s tutelage, the Red-Whites have registered three wins from four league-games. However, Olympiacos are sitting at the fourth spot in the Greece Super League standings, with 17 points to their name, 10 adrift of leaders Panathinaikos.
Freiburg probable starting lineup: Flekken, Kubler, Lienhart, Schlotterbeck, Gunter, Eggestein, Keitel, Doan, woo-yeong, Holer, Petersen
Olympiacos probable starting lineup: Paschalakis, Pipa, Ntoi, Papastathopoulos, Reabciuk, Masouras, M’Vila, Hwang, Biel, Biel, Kamara, el Arabi
