No winner in Emilia-Romagna?
The Breisgauers are heading to Emilia-Romagna for their Europa League match! Read our preview to find out which Bologna vs. Freiburg tip could be worthwhile in the eyes of Wettbasis! SC Freiburg got off to a successful start in the competition with a win against their Swiss neighbors from Basel last week, underlining the upturn that had already been evident in the Bundesliga.
The dress rehearsal for the match against Hoffenheim last Saturday also ended in a draw. This means that the visitors have three wins and one draw in their last four competitive games.
The hosts, on the other hand, suffered defeat in their Europa League debut at Aston Villa. Things are also mixed in their domestic Serie A campaign: after five rounds of matches, coach Vincenzo Italiano’s team has no more than a balanced record (2-1-2) to show for itself. The prediction for the match between Bologna and Freiburg is now a draw.
In addition, we believe Riccardo Orsolini will score. The striker has consistently delivered double-digit goals for the hosts in the past three Serie A seasons, and he is already on target again this season.
Bologna – Freiburg Head-to-head record
This is the first time these two teams have faced each other. For the premiere between Bologna and Freiburg, the odds give the home team a slight advantage.
Bologna – Freiburg Tip
As mentioned above, this is the first meeting between Bologna and Freiburg in European competition. The Italians won their last game against a German opponent 2-1 against Dortmund in the group stage of the 2024/25 Champions League.
Freiburg have faced Italian opposition twice in European competition, losing both games in the round of 16 of the 2022/23 Europa League against Juventus Turin – 0-3 on aggregate. The ninth-placed team in last season’s Serie A secured their place in this season’s Europa League by winning the Coppa Italia last season!
Currently, however, the “Rossoblu” have room for improvement. Their performances in the league have been solid at best, and their start to the EL was unsuccessful with a defeat in Birmingham against Aston Villa. Nevertheless, we expect a close game in Bologna.
The Italian squad is on par with the visiting team from the Black Forest, and the home advantage also speaks in their favor. After all, Bologna has won at least two of its home league games this season.
For its part, SC Freiburg is in stable form, with three wins from its last four unbeaten national and international competitive games. In our opinion, the ingredients for a competitive match are in place, and the Bologna vs. Freiburg betting odds for a draw are recommended.
