-----------------------------
Freiburg host Genk in the Europa League round of 16 second leg, aiming to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit. The German side must deliver a strong performance at home to reach the quarter-finals.

Team Analysis:
Freiburg enter the second leg under pressure after poor domestic form but hope their strong home record in Europe can fuel a comeback. Genk, buoyed by recent wins and solid away performances, aim to build on their first-leg advantage to reach the quarter-finals.

Player Situation:
Freiburg will miss Max Rosenfelder but plan to start Ginter and Ogbus in central defence, with Yuito Suzuki supporting striker Igor Matanovic. Genk will be without suspended Zakaria El Ouahdi, with Ken Nkuba likely filling in and Konstantinos Karetsas providing attacking support for their front three.

Result Prediction:
Freiburg’s strong home form gives them hope of overturning their one-goal deficit. Genk’s solid away record and the advantage of a first-leg lead make them likely to hold on and reach the quarter-finals.

Predicted Result: Freiburg 1-1 Genk.
