SC Freiburg

Under Christian Streich's guidance, the team had relatively favorable opponents in the group stage. Essentially, Freiburg struggled only against London's West Ham, while they managed to defeat Greek side Olympiacos and Serbian club Backa Topola in each encounter. In the Bundesliga, the level of competition is entirely different, and currently, Freiburg occupies the eighth position in the league table. "The Brazilians from Breisgau" have accumulated 29 points from 22 matches played. Last weekend, Christian Streich's men hosted the strong Eintracht Frankfurt side and played out a 3-3 draw, equalizing in the 90th minute. Nevertheless, this draw at least halted a streak of three defeats in the Bundesliga.

RC Lens

"The Blood and Gold" surprised many during the Champions League group stage by defeating London's Arsenal at home. It seemed that Lens could contend for the top two spots; however, they settled for third place in the group. Frank Haise's team has also failed to impress in their domestic league, where they currently sit sixth in the league standings. Compared to last year, regression is evident! On the bright side, they are only three points behind third-placed Nice, with Brest just four points ahead. There are still chances to fight for the Champions League. The main thing is to minimize mistakes, as seen in their recent match against Reims (1-1).

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

• For Freiburg, this is their first playoff encounter against a club from France.
• Lens has previously crossed paths with Bundesliga teams twice in the UEFA Cup. They eliminated Kaiserslautern in the 1999/2000 season and Bayer Leverkusen in the spring of 2007.

SC Freiburg vs RC Lens Prediction

Christian Streich's team performs well at home and rarely suffers defeat. Not long ago, they had a streak of seven matches without a loss at their home ground. In the first leg, the Germans looked better, allowing only one shot on target. Our bet is "Freiburg to win with a (0) handicap" with odds of 1.72.
