West Ham vs Freiburg Prediction & Match Preview

• Freiburg lost four of the previous five away outings in Bundesliga.
• We have seen three or more goals in each of these five affairs along the way.
• All of West Ham’s last three Premier League matches produced four or more goals.

West Ham will have a one-goal deficit to chase on Thursday evening in the reverse game of the UEFA Europa League last-16 round at London Stadium. The first match brought us an open affair packed with chances on both ends. Freiburg took advantage of theirs as Michael Gregoritsch gave them the 1-0 victory seven days ago.

Freiburg backed it up with a 2-1 road success against Bochum on Sunday afternoon. Gregoritsch confirmed his string run of form by scoring another goal at Vonovia Ruhrstadion. Christian Streich’s men moved up to 8th place of the Bundesliga standings as a consequence.

West Ham continued with their hot-and-cold performances at the weekend. They were held to a 2-2 stalemate at home against last-placed Burnley on Sunday. Although David Moyes’ men dominated the pitch throughout most of the contest, they earned a point only after a late Danny Ings equalizer.

West Ham vs Freiburg Prediction

Freiburg lost just one of the last seven games across competitions. However, they have shown much better displays at home than on the road throughout the season. Streich’s men thus have four defeats in the previous five away outings in German Bundesliga. They left too much space behind even in the last weekend’s win at Bochum, conceding 18 shots (6 on target) four days ago at Vonovia Ruhrstadion. West Ham possess enough quality in their ranks to overcome a one-goal deficit. We will back the hosts to win at the 1.70 odds.

The value is great with the Over 2.5 goals FT bet at the 1.95 odds. Each of Freiburg’s last five away fixtures in Bundesliga saw three or more goals scored. We’ve also seen four or more goals in each of West Ham’s last three Premier League matches. Even the last week’s first leg at Europa-Park Stadion brought us plenty of high-profile opportunities on both ends, despite the 1-0 scoreline.
