William Hill News tipster @Footy_Tipster previews Thursday’s UEFA Europa Conference League Qualification game between Freiburg and Motherwell.

Our Prediction: Freiburg Over 2.5 Goals (17/20), Freiburg 3-0 Motherwell (13/2)

Freiburg return to Europa‑Park Stadion on Thursday night holding a commanding 3–1 advantage from the first leg, as Julian Schuster’s side look to finish the job and secure their place in the UEFA Europa Conference League league phase.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Europa Conference League odds and betting angles for Thursday’s fixture:

Freiburg v Motherwell – Thursday, 5.45pm

Freiburg enter this play‑off after finishing seventh in the Bundesliga last season, but their campaign could easily have taken on an entirely different complexion. They reached the UEFA Europa League final, an outstanding achievement in itself, even if their run ultimately ended with a 3–0 defeat to Aston Villa.
The first leg last week was the first time that Freiburg had played a competitive fixture since that final defeat in May, the fact they won the game was impressive, whilst they made the most of their player advantage and scoring the third goal late on could be vital.
Freiburg are strong favourites in the betting. William Hill make them 1/5 odds‑on to win on Thursday night and confirm their spot in the Europa Conference League, reflecting both their European pedigree and the quality within Schuster’s squad.

Motherwell enjoyed an excellent season last year under Jens Berthel Askou, finishing fourth after playing some genuinely impressive football. Askou’s departure to Toulouse means Alfred Johansson is now in charge, but the transition has been smooth so far.
However, Motherwell’s 3-1 defeat last week in the first leg now means they’ll have to defy the betting odds on Thursday night if they are going to make their first appearance in European competition proper since the 2008/09 campaign.
The Well’s only other meeting with a German club came in 1994-95, a defeat to Borussia Dortmund but punters can back Motherwell to upset Freiburg here and back them at a huge 70/1 with William Hill to qualify.
