Freiburg to finish the job at Europa-Park Stadion
SC Freiburg are 3-1 up from the first leg of their UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 tie with Motherwell and The Breisgau-Brasilianer should finish the deal at Europa-Park Stadion on Thursday. Freiburg have won six, drawn one and lost three of their last ten in all competitions and have found their rhythm after a shaky start to the season.
They've won four of their last six at home (D1, L1) and conceded just six times in that period, while Motherwell have won two, drawn one and lost two of their five away from home, conceding seven goals at a rate of 1.40 per game.
Freiburg are a well-oiled machine
Form and tactics
The visitors are in mixed form with four wins, two draws and four defeats from their last ten in all competitions, and that sequence of results makes them outsiders here against a team with much more quality on paper. Julian Schuster's side are a compact unit that will press selectively, but when the ball is won they can hit their visitors with a vertical switch of play that Motherwell will have to be wary of.
Key players
Matthias Ginter is the biggest threat to Motherwell, with the experienced international scoring twice in his only UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 appearance, and with his long-range shots and positioning from the back line. Lucas Hoeler is also a player to watch, with the striker scoring three goals in Freiburg's last five matches. Schuster's men have scored seven goals in that same spell and are efficient enough to keep their visitors at bay.
Odds are stacked against hosts
Alfred Johansson's Motherwell side are a high-energy, rotation-heavy 4-2-2-2 team that plays an aggressive game based around quick combinations and counter-pressing. They will be right into the game against a Freiburg side but the Germans are a bit more efficient and better equipped to manage that sort of situation.
- The odds are heavily stacked against the visitors here with Freiburg a 1.17 favorite and the draw at 6.7, so we're going for the home win in the full time result market as it still represents a solid return.
- A correct score bet of 2-0 to Freiburg looks good and the Both Teams to Score – No market at 1.55 and Under 2.5 goals at 2.47 should also be considered.
- Motherwell's Ibrahim Said has two goals in four games in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 action and is their sharpest edge going forward.
