At the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium on Thursday, Freiburg’s Europa League group stage campaign will come to an end against Qarabag (November 3). The Breisgau-Brasilianer handily won Group G without dropping a game and advanced to the Round of 16 with 13 points from five games. Prior to being beaten to a 1-1 tie by Olympiacos last week, they had won four straight games, but the result did nothing to hurt their chances of moving forward.
The Horseman must equal or surpass the French team’s performance from the previous game to avoid being relegated to the Europa Conference League. Last season, Gurban Gurbanov’s team participated in the competition’s first season, however they were eliminated in the elimination stage playoffs after losing to Marseille 6-1 on aggregate.
Qarabag vs Freiburg Prediction
Qarabag is under pressure since a defeat would cast doubt on their chances of progressing. Even though Freiburg is a superior club from the Bundesliga, the home team will aim for the victory and try to put them on the back foot. However, because they have already qualified for the round of 16, they may relax and let their Azerbaijani opponents eke out a point because they have nothing to lose. Prediction: Freiburg 1-0 Qarabag
