Nice vs. Freiburg: Match Prediction
The French side has yet to earn any points, but Frank Haise's team doesn't look entirely hopeless. All their defeats have been by a narrow margin, with the team consistently finding the net. Moreover, Nice has scored in 7 of their last 8 Europa League matches. At home, the club is likely to look active in attack, especially with the desire to end their winless streak providing extra motivation. However, it's worth noting Nice's defensive issues: they have conceded in 15 consecutive matches in this tournament.
The Germans appear much more convincing, achieving positive results largely due to their attacking potential. Freiburg has not lost in 9 of their last 12 Europa League games, failing to score in just three matches during this period. However, they are vulnerable at the back, especially away from home. The team conceded in 7 of their last 8 away Europa League matches.
Additionally, both teams scored in Nice's last 7 home Europa League matches. This is another factor in favor of the prediction "Both teams to score – yes"
