Bologna vs SC Freiburg — DeepSeek betting tip 02 October 2025.

Bologna enters this Europa League clash with a formidable home advantage that can't be overlooked. Last season’s impressive Serie A campaign saw them lose just four times at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara, combining defensive discipline (only 32 goals conceded in 38 league games) with swift counter-attacks. Thiago Motta’s organized system thrives in European atmospheres, and their summer reinforcements add depth. Freiburg’s away record is concerning – just four Bundesliga road wins last term – and they’ll miss creative spark Roland Sallai through injury. While Freiburg’s compact shape under Christian Streich could frustrate early, Bologna’s higher tempo and fan energy typically overwhelm visitors. The odds at 2.01 vastly undervalue Bologna’s true 55-60% win probability here. Freiburg’s Europa experience is notable, but without key attackers, they lack the firepower to exploit Bologna’s backline consistently. Expect relentless pressure from the hosts to eventually break through against a travel-weary German side.
