Freiburg to finish the job
Freiburg's 3-1 win in the first-leg of their UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 tie away to Motherwell means that Freiburg has a firm foot in the door, and the bookmakers expect them to finish the task on Thursday. The SC Freiburg vs Motherwell prediction points to Freiburg being the 1.17 favorites for this game, with a draw at 6.7, so the market is expecting them to have enough to see it out in Germany.
The hosts have looked impressive in this competition so far, but they've also been in good form across all comps, winning six, drawing one and losing three of their last ten. Julian Schuster's side have won three consecutive games ahead of this match, while their home record across all competition this season reads: four wins, one draw and one defeat in six games. They've conceded just six goals in that run, and while they're not the most attacking side, they're a compact and efficient unit.
At the other end, Matthias Ginter is the biggest threat for Freiburg. Ginter has scored two goals in one appearance in UEFA Conference League Qualification 2026 and his quality from defence can be a real threat to opposing teams.
A tight game in Germany
Motherwell are in mixed form ahead of this clash, with one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five. They've lost back-to-back matches. The Steelmen are the underdogs, and their record of four wins, two draws and four defeats in their last 10 matches suggests they may be up against it on Thursday.
Ibrahim Said is Motherwell's top-scorer in this competition with two goals in four appearances, and he gives Motherwell a little bit of a cutting edge in attack. They play a rotation-heavy 4-2-2-2 formation which is high-energy and based around quick, intricate passing and counter-pressing when they lose possession.
Freiburg to edge out Motherwell
Freiburg look the more likely winner and the game could be a little cagey as they look to close out the tie. The clash of Freiburg's control with Motherwell's more aggressive style should be interesting, but I think Freiburg has the more efficient and clinical edge. SC Freiburg vs Motherwell betting tips suggest backing Freiburg to win is the main selection, while a home clean sheet looks likely, so I'm backing Freiburg to stop Motherwell from scoring in the game too. For a final call, the hosts should have enough to get the job done.
