International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both SC Freiburg and Qarabağ are looking forward to this Europa League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
These teams have little in common geographically as Qarabağ have to travel 4200 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
SC Freiburg form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for SC Freiburg's two home games in the Bundesliga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Europa Park Stadium.
A good away victory last time out for Freiburg, who won 3-2 against Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The victory against Bayer 04 Leverkusen came after Doan's winning goal. The SC Freiburg manager Streich was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 46th minute. Doan, a striker, was the highest rated player for the side in that match, earning a rating of 7.33 (out of 10). Doan scored one goal and dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times.
Previous to that game, a Bundesliga home match hosting Bochum in a game that was won 1-0.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Freiburg, as the Bundesliga home game vs Borussia M'gladbach is only three days away.
Early season league goal statistics from SC Freiburg's 2 home games: 2 goals, 3 conceded.
Qarabağ form and stats
Qarabağ's mission in Europa League last season failed in the group stage.Qarabağ are yet to lose a point on their Premier League travels this season with 2 wins from 2 away games.
288 minutes! That's how long the Qarabağ goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Qarabağ play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 1-0 victory visiting Kapaz.
That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus Kesl FK in the Premier League.After this away game Qarabağ return home for a Premier League game against Sabah. That game is only three sleeps after this.
It's early days yet, but Qarabağ has scored 3 and conceded 0 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
