Bologna vs SC Freiburg

This will be the first European meeting between Bologna and Freiburg, with the Italian side winning their last match against German opposition 2-1 vs Borussia Dortmund during the 2024-25 UEFA Champions League league phase.

Freiburg have only faced Italian opposition twice before in European competition, losing both legs of a 2022-23 UEFA Europa League last 16 tie against Juventus (0-3 on aggregate).

Bologna have only ever lost two of their 31 home games across major European competition (W17 D12), though those two defeats have come across their last three games on home soil.

Freiburg have failed to win any of their last three away UEFA Europa League games (D1 L2), failing to score during that time whilst conceding seven goals in total.

Since the start of 2022-23, SC Freiburg have won nine of their 13 UEFA Europa League group/league stage matches, including four of their last five (L1).
