Freiburg team overview
Freiburg got off to the worst possible start in the Bundesliga, losing their first two fixtures against Augsburg and Cologne by an aggregate score of 7–2.
Julian Schuster’s side have responded positively with back to back wins in their last two fixtues as they beat Stuttgart and Werder Bremen. Having scored three goals in each of those games, the Breisgau-Brasilianer will go into Wednesday’s match full of confidence.
Johan Manzambi missed the win over Werder Bremen following his red card in the previous game, but he will be available for Wednesday’s Europa League match. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh has been dealing with fitness issues and is expected to miss Wednesday’s game.

FC Basel 1893 team overview
After winning the Swiss Super League last season, Basel had the chance to qualify for the Champions League by beating Copenhagen in the play-offs, but they missed their opportunity following a 2-1 aggregate defeat in August.
Their league performances so far this season have not also quite met their usual standard, with the team currently sitting in third place. However, head coach Ludovic Magnin will be encouraged by the fact that his team are coming into Wednesday's match on the back of successive league victories.

Prediction
Basel have put in a couple of good performances recently, but their inexperience on the European stage could see them lose to the hosts, who have won each of their last three Europa League home games. Freiburg's last four games have been very entertaining, with at least three goals in each, so I am predicting a 3-1 home win.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- All the last four games of SC Freiburg ended with over 2.5 goals.
- Bets on over 2.5 goals won in each of the last two games of Basel.
- Each of the last three meetings between Freiburg and Basel produced 4+ goals.
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
