SC Freiburg-ASTON VILLA    (won)

                                       SC Freiburg-ASTON VILLA "2"

Cinderella Story of Freiburg will come to an end here at FINAL stage in ISTANBUL when ASTON VILLA will represent the PL in style. Freiburg played a terrific competition and well deserved standing here, they are a well organized team, GINTHER in defense the leader, besides that you know what to expect from them, they will fight, they will defend and they will give it all, yet ASTON VILLA just with way too much class. Freiburg with not a lot of experience in FINALS, DFB Cup FINAL in 2024 with a 1-0 and a man more still could not get the title versus Leipzig. Finishing 7th in the Bundesliga with 13W and 13 L is pretty much a little bit above average in Bundesliga and this versus a VILLA Team that is currently in PL on CL course with place 4. Last MD a 4-2 W versus Pool. IN EL Group Stage 7 W and 1 strange loss to GA Eagles Deventer. In K.O-Stage 2W versus Lille, 2W versus Bologne and a convincing 2nd Leg versus Nottingham with 4-0 erasing the 0-1 defeat. I just cannot see VILLA underestimating Freiburg and not taking a FINAL serious and than it is just way too much for a Freiburg squad that lost on the road at Lille, at Genk and lastly at Braga and was never really convincing away from HOME. ASTON VILLA to WIN here.....
