Freiburg vs Aston Villa: 30/1 Bet Builder Tip & Best Predictions

After finishing 7th in the Bundesliga, Freiburg now stand on the brink of history as they chase the first major trophy in the club’s history against Aston Villa in tonight’s Europa League final.

Villa, European champions back in 1982, are also desperate to end a long wait for silverware, with their last major triumph coming in the 1996 EFL Cup. However, with Unai Emery on the touchline, they have a manager who knows exactly how to conquer this competition.

The Spaniard famously guided Sevilla to three straight Europa League titles between 2014 and 2016, before lifting the trophy again with Villarreal in 2021.

With both sides eyeing a historic night, we’ve put together a special bet builder tip for the final, along with our best predictions for what promises to be a thrilling showdown at Besiktas Park.

We're expecting Aston Villa to come out on top in the Europa League final as the Premier League side possesses the much better team on paper. Villa have won 12 of their 14 matches in the Europa League this season, only losing on two occasions, while Freiburg have lost three of their last seven European games. However, we can see both teams getting on the scoreboard tonight as the goalscoring responsibilities have been shared within both squads, with neither relying on a single main source.
