SC Freiburg vs West Ham United F.C. Prediction 5 October 2023

In the second round of the Europa League group stage we will see a confrontation between Freiburg and West Ham.

A couple of weeks ago, Freiburg scored a spectacular 3-2 win against Augsburg, which significantly improved their chances of reaching the play-off round. And in the recent league meetings with Eintracht (0:0) and Augsburg (2:0), the Vultures were remembered for their well-coordinated actions in defense.

In a similar period of time, West Ham lost 1:3 to Liverpool, after which they redeemed themselves with two victories in a row over Lincoln (1:0) and Sheffield United (2:0). Let us remind you that in the first round of the UEL the Hammers crushed Backa-Topola with a score of 3:1.

On paper, West Ham are still stronger, but the home crowd factor will increase Freiburg's chances of their own success. Both teams are quite pragmatic, so we don’t expect any scoring extravaganza from them.
