Freiburg
LLWWL
Freiburg have reached this stage with an extraordinary record of nine consecutive European home wins heading into this fixture. In the round of 16, they lost 1-0 at Genk before delivering a commanding 5-1 home victory to progress in emphatic fashion. Their defensive foundation across the league phase; conceding just four goals in eight matches was the second-best record in the competition and has been the bedrock of their campaign.
Celta Vigo
DDWLW
Celta Vigo have been one of La Liga's most effective European travellers this season. They progressed 3-1 on aggregate against Lyon; drawing 1-1 away before winning 2-0 at home in Spain, demonstrating the balance and quality Claudio Giráldez has built. In the Spanish top-flight, their away points tally (24 from 14 road fixtures) is one of the finest, with just 14 goals conceded away from home matching Real Madrid for the best defensive road record. They carry genuine European pedigree and the hunger of a club reaching a quarter-final for the first time in 25 years.
