A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; UEFA Europa League: Group G
Europa Park Stadion - Freiburg
Thursday, 06th October 2022 - kickoff 21:00 CET
SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg is going strong on all fronts. They enter this game full of confidence, after going unbeaten in 8 consecutive matches, winning 6 times.
SC Freiburg currently occupies the top of German Bundesliga, level on the first spot with Union Berlin. They are the strongest German defensive side, allowing only six goals so far in their eight games.
SC Freiburg also showed amazing defensive displays in recent weeks, allowing only one goal in their last four competitive games.
In the Europa League, SC Freiburg is at the top of their Group G, winning their two matches so far against Qarabag FK 2-1, and Olympiacos 0-3 away.
Last weekend, SC Freiburg defeated Mainz 2-1 in the German Bundesliga, warming up for this match. Changes are not expected in the line-up, so expect an unchanged formation for this game as well.
Nantes
The winners of the French Cup last season, Nantes is just a shadow of the team they were a year ago. They are in an awful form, winning only 2 of their 12 competitive games this season (six defeats, four draws).
Nantes has not won an away match for 9 straight trips in the French League, and their European record is not much better either.
Nantes won their first game in this group against Olympiacos 2-1 at home, but then lost 3-0 away against Qarabaq FK. All their European games in recent years involved many goals scored, with their last 6 European games ending with over 2.5 goals.
Nantes now travels to Freiburg on the back of 5 straight winless matches, suffering 3 defeats. Last weekend they were heavily beaten by AS Monaco 4-1 away.
The Betting Verdict
A win for SC Freiburg will cement their top spot in this group and will secure their progress into the knockout stages.
Considering how poor Nantes plays currently, I believe SC Freiburg will manage to extend their unbeaten series to 9 straight competitive games, winning this match by scoring a couple of goals.
The Pick :
SC Freiburg 2-0 Nantes
