Form Guide
Celta Vigo
WLWLL
Claudio Giráldez's Celta have shown throughout this Europa League campaign that they are a dangerous team at home, beating Lyon 2-0 in Vigo in the round of 16 and scoring the joint-most goals in the competition's 2025-26 edition with 21. Their unbeaten away run across all competitions stood at eight games before the Freiburg defeat. Celta, who couldn't muster a single shot on target in Germany, now need to conjure three unanswered goals at a raucous Balaídos, with Borja Iglesias, Iago Aspas, Ferran Jutglà and Ilaix Moriba providing genuine attacking quality.
Freiburg
WWLWW
Julian Schuster's side arrive in Galicia as one of European football's most talked-about stories, making history in their first European quarter-final. Vincenzo Grifo's curling opener, Niklas Beste's clinical tap-in and Matthias Ginter's powerful header sealed Freiburg's first-ever European quarter-final victory in commanding fashion. They combined nine straight European home wins with that dominant first-leg display and will be hopeful of doing just enough on the road to capitalize on their impressive advantage.
Prediction
Celta must attack to have any hope, and Freiburg possess the counter-attacking quality to take advantage of the spaces. As such, at least two goal returns is expected on the day.
