UEFA Europa League
Freiburg will play their first final in Europe. In their history, they have only played in one final clash, but that was in the German Cup four years ago, where they suffered a loss. Freiburg arrives in Istanbul in good spirits after a 4:1 home victory over RB Leipzig on Saturday, and with this win, they secured European football for next season, regardless of the outcome in the upcoming final. Eight of Freiburg's last nine matches in all competitions have ended with goals on both sides.
Aston Villa also celebrated a good victory in the league before the final, defeating Liverpool at home 4:2. The 1982 European Cup winner now has another chance for a European trophy and arrives as the favorite in Istanbul for the final. One of the reasons is the presence of an experienced specialist like Unai Emery, who has already won the Europa League four times with previous teams. Villa's matches lately have also seen plenty of goals, with over 2.5 goals in seven of the last ten matches of the team.
Prediction: Villa win, both teams to scoreIn the end, I think Unai Emery will celebrate with the trophy again, this time with Aston Villa. I don't expect Freiburg to give in easily and I even think they will score at least once, and I predict there will be goals in the match.

Freiburg and Aston Villa are the two teams that proved to be the most deserving for the Europa League final. The two now face each other to determine this year's winner.
Unai Emery wants a new trophy
The Spanish specialist once again shows why he loves this tournament so much, as he enters his sixth final with a fourth different club. It should be noted that his only defeat came while leading another English club - Arsenal. Now Villa is the absolute favorite against the German Freiburg and is expected to claim the trophy. The Villans are already certain of their place in the Champions League for next year after their victory over Liverpool a few days ago, but the fans will want the cup as well. Freiburg is a tricky opponent, possessing quality and can be quite unpredictable. Still - the English team has more class, more experience, and a manager who has been through such situations. It would be quite unexpected to see a different outcome.
Bet on Aston Villa's victory
I think the English club will triumph, perhaps even in regular time.
