Freiburg Host Celta Vigo in Europa League Quarterfinal First Leg

The tie pits Freiburg's strong home defense against a Celta side that has scored in 12 straight Europa League games.

Overview

Freiburg, which host the first leg Thursday at Europa-Park Stadion, kick off at 3 p.m. ET on Paramount+ and ViX.
This is Freiburg's first European quarter-final after a 5-2 aggregate win over Genk, and they bring a nine-match European home winning run with only six goals allowed in this Europa League.
Celta arrived after a 3-1 aggregate win over Lyon and lead the competition with 21 goals, scoring in 12 straight Europa League matches.
Coach Julian Schuster called the team's first 70 minutes against Bayern Munich their benchmark for how they want to play in this tie.
Midfielder Patrick Osterhage is out as he needs knee surgery, which Schuster said could keep him sidelined for the rest of the season.
