West Ham vs Freiburg prediction 14.03.2024

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: Thursday, 14th March 2024
• Kickoff: 17:45 UK / 18:45 CET
• Venue: London Stadium (London)

We are set for an exhilarating match on Thursday evening in London, featuring West Ham and Freiburg. The initial leg saw the German team clinching a narrow 1-0 victory. Therefore, in this second match, both teams will be filled with high hopes of advancing to the subsequent stage.

West Ham is having another stable season. They are a middle-of-the-pack team in the English Premier League and under the guidance of David Moyes, they have a high likelihood of advancing to the quarterfinals in the Europa League. However, their performance over the last two months has been less than ideal, with only two wins out of the last 12 games across all competitions. They recently drew 2-2 at home against Burnley, a team considered one of the weakest in the competition, barely securing a point. This was largely thanks to Danny Ings who rescued his team during stoppage time in the second half.

Freiburg shares a comparable standing with West Ham, being a mid-table team in the Bundesliga. However, Freiburg appears to be in somewhat better shape, having lost only one of their last seven matches. They secured a 2-1 victory against Bochum on the road last weekend. Despite the home team taking 18 shots on goal and Freiburg only taking nine, they still managed to clinch the win. This victory will undoubtedly boost their confidence as they gear up for a rematch against West Ham.

West Ham vs Freiburg pick: Over 2.5 goals

West Ham netted a total of nine goals in their previous four games, while Freiburg managed to score 11 goals in their last six matches. A bet of over 2.5 goals appears to be the most favorable for this match-up.
