This UEFA Europa League final looks closer than the odds suggest.

Both teams reached the final with impressive attacking performances during the knockout rounds, but one important detail stands out – both SC Freiburg and Aston Villa generally looked much stronger at home compared to away matches.

That becomes important here because neither side will have home advantage in Istanbul.

The tournament numbers between these teams are actually fairly close.

Aston Villa hold slightly stronger attacking numbers overall, but Freiburg remain very competitive across most defensive and physical categories.

Freiburg also played with a very aggressive style throughout this Europa League campaign.

They have also looked comfortable playing on the counter throughout this tournament.

Aston Villa clearly possess dangerous attacking quality, especially when games become more open, but Freiburg have already shown several times during this tournament that they can remain competitive against strong offensive teams.

The handicap also provides extra protection in what could easily become a very tense and cautious final.

Considering the neutral venue and how evenly matched these teams look statistically, Freiburg avoiding defeat in regular time looks very possible here.
