Freiburg vs. Lens Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Freiburg vs. Lens

Lens journey to the Black Forest for their Europa League playoff round second leg against Freiburg at Europa-Park on Thursday.

The initial leg concluded without goals in a match that held uncertainty, ultimately setting the stage for an evenly balanced return fixture.

In the previous week’s match, Freiburg secured a rare clean sheet, noteworthy given their recent penchant for conceding goals domestically. Despite conceding three goals in four consecutive Bundesliga games, including a 3-3 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt, they managed to restrict Lens to minimal opportunities during the 90 minutes in France.

The resilience displayed in their comeback against Frankfurt, rallying from behind on three occasions, adds confidence ahead of this clash. The draw at Stade Bollaert-Delelis not only halted a three-game losing streak but also marked an overall positive outcome for Freiburg, with Roland Sallai having two excellent chances, albeit denied by the crossbar in the first half and goalkeeper Brice Samba in the second.

What to remember – Freiburg vs. Lens

The first leg displayed minimal differences between the sides, setting the stage for a tightly contested match this week. While Lens has exhibited stronger domestic form, the home advantage is expected to favor Freiburg.

This fixture seems poised to potentially extend to a penalty shootout, making it one of the games most likely to reach that conclusion among all Thursday’s actions.
