REF’s picks

SC Freiburg boast superior individual quality and home advantage, making them well-equipped to cover a -1.5 handicap against FK Jablonec. The Bundesliga side's attacking depth has been formidable lately, regularly dismantling domestic opponents by comfortable margins. However, Jablonec showed defensive resilience in their qualifiers against Rangers, meaning Freiburg will need to break down a stubborn block.

1. 1Freiburg's recent form features high-scoring wins like 5-0 against Borussia Mönchengladbach and 4-1 against Werder Bremen.
2. 2Jablonec kept clean sheets in several of their recent European fixtures, proving they can frustrate superior opposition for long stretches.
3. 3European away trips to German stadiums often expose lower-tier teams once fatigue sets in during the second half.
