N/A as these sides have never faced each other prior to this Thursday's game.
Last 5 Viktoria Plzen Games:
Plzen have shown mixed form recently having only won 2 of their previous 5. In the same time they have drawn 2 and lost 1 proving they're not an easy side to beat and why they currently sit in one of the coveted automatic knockout round spots in the Europa League.
The side have managed to rack up a highly respectable 10 goals in their last 5 but if anything their undoing is more likely to come from their defence and general inability to keep it entirely tidy. They have kept 2 clean sheets which on its own is not bad but when we combine it with the knowledge they have conceded 9 in their other 3, it's clear they have a struggling defence.
Last 5 SC Freiburg Games:
SC Freiburg have shown great form in their previous 5 outings with very few signs of a let up. The German side have managed to win 3, draw 1 and lose 1. The only loss came in a battering against Bayern Munich but there were positives to take away. The form the side have put on display shows very clearly how they have managed to get to 2nd place in the Europa League group stages.
In terms of goals scored and conceded the side have shown a solid scoring ability and solid enough defensive capabilities. Up front the side have netted themselves 10 in 5 whilst at the back they have been able to keep 1 clean sheet whilst conceding 9. It is important to note that 6 of these goals came in one game against Bayern however, meaning they only conceded 3 in the other 4.
Our advanced algorithm analyses over 200 data points to generate these predictions with 52% confidence in both teams to score. The model factors in current form, head-to-head records, player availability, and tactical matchups.
Football Park's Best Bet: Both Teams To Score @ 1.70 - Our team of in-house betting tipsters have predicted Both Teams To Score in this fixture. Their respective forms, Europa League positions and individual quality justify confidence in this selection.
Raifu Durosinmi (Viktoria Plzen):
The young Nigerian forward has shown his ability so far this season for Plzen having scored 5 goals so far in the league. He has been unable to contribute any assists as of yet but typically this is not his role in the side.
Standing at 6'4 he is often used as a target man style forward for his fellow attacker to play the ball to. Thursday's game has a very strong chance of seeing this style of play on display.
Yuito Suzuki (SC Freiburg):
The Japanese forward has been on top form so far for Freiburg currently having 3 goals and 1 assist across both the Bundesliga and Europa League. He will be warming the fans up to him with performances like this after his arrival from Danish side Brondby in the summer for an unknown fee.
