Freiburg to stage second-leg comeback

This semi-final is very finely poised, after Mario Dorgeles struck a 92nd-minute winner for Braga last Thursday. It was an open contest that produced 3.71 xG.

The Portuguese side still have plenty of work to do if they want to advance. Freiburg have a 100% home record in this season’s Europa League. They’ve scored eight goals across their two home knockout matches, easing past Genk and Celta Vigo.

Braga’s games since the league phase in this competition have averaged 3.40 goals per 90 minutes. All three previous games have seen both teams score. Given that, there is value in backing the hosts to win a high-scoring contest.
