Freiburg take on the visitors West Ham in the round 2 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 5th at Europa-Park Stadion (Freiburg)
Freiburg seems to have passed its peak. The Brazilians from Breisgau began their ascent under their current coach, Christian Streich, in the season before last. As a result, they initially secured 6th place and reached the final of the country's cup, and then this spring, they finished 5th in the Bundesliga. However, they failed to win any trophies or make it to the Champions League, with Berlin's Union overtaking the more experienced team by just one victory. And now, the start doesn't look as convincing as in 2021 and 2022. They have already faced defeats, including a 0-5 loss to Stuttgart. However, in the Europa League, the Germans showed their class and motivation by defeating Olympiacos 3-2 in Piraeus, with the decisive goal coming from Philipp in the 86th minute.

The Hammers also seem to have found their coach in David Moyes. The previous season was his worst in London in terms of the Premier League, with his team's top-flight status in jeopardy for much of the season before a late resurgence. However, they eventually secured a trophy, albeit a European one: the English team, with almost no hiccups (just one draw), completed the entire journey in the Conference League and won that young tournament. As a result, in addition to the prize, they also earned the right to compete in the more prestigious Europa League. All of this happened without their leader, Declan Rice. The captain was sold to Arsenal for £100 million, and the club made decent money from Vlasic and Scamacca, who didn't quite fit in England. The net result was a powerful campaign to pay off their entrance fees. So, in the Premier League, the Hammers have started better than expected, and they won their first international match 3-1 against Bachka-Topola. The newcomers, Kudus and Ward-Prowse, played significant roles in the game against the Serbians, with Kudus scoring twice and Ward-Prowse providing two assists.
This football derby between Germany and England will be held for the first time. The chances of both teams winning are considered equal. In any case, we expect not only a fierce but also an entertaining battle – let's bet on total over 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 scored goals.
