Celta Vigo to win @ 21/10

With four wins and four draws, Celta Vigo have been excellent in their current eight-game unbeaten run on the road.

Going into this game on the back of an impressive 3-2 victory at the Mestalla against Los Che, Celta should will be brimming with confidence ahead of Thursday showdown with Bundesliga opposition.

Freiburg had made Europa-Park Stadion a fortress at the start of the year, but just a single victory from their last four matches at home has seen their form slip in front of their own supporters.

Having overcome a strong Lyon outfit in the round of 16, Celta are backed to secure lead ahead of the return leg at the Estadio de Balaidos.

Ferran Jutgla anytime goalscorer @ 5/2

Without talisman Aspas available for the trip to Germany, Ferran Jutgla will look to step up once again to fill the void in the visitors' attack.

Jutgla has been in excellent goalscoring form, finding the back of the net four times in his last four games.

Having scored against Lyon in the previous round, the former Club Brugge striker is certainly worth considering at 12/5 in the anytime goalscorer market in this one.
