February 21st: Friday’s European Double – 4/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

With this weekend’s action getting underway on Friday night, we have a stacked schedule from across Europe’s elite.

As Brentford travel to Leicester seeing a route into the top-half of the Premier League table, we also have action from the likes of La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga.

For those of you looking to stick on a Friday night flutter, we have taken a look at two of the most appealing European betting markets that are available.

19:30 Freiburg vs Werder Bremen 

While Freiburg might have found themselves at the heart of a downbeat rut on either side of Germany’s festive break, Friday’s hosts have come roaring back in some style. Continuing to receive a string of plaudits from across Germany’s elite this season, Julian Schuster’s side are sat firmly in the driving seat to book a lucrative European return in 2025. Opening Friday’s showdown just one-point adrift of finding a route into the Champions League places, the Reds find the mood in their camp at a real high. Last seen putting in another gritty display as they claimed a 1-0 victory away at St. Pauli, Freiburg have won each of their previous three consecutive Bundesliga appearances by a 1-0 scoreline. Smelling the chance to extend on their European charge here, Schuster’s side have also gained a fearsome reputation for their success on home soil. In fact, the Champions League dreamers have collected 12 points from their last five Bundesliga matchups at the Europa-Park Stadion.

Although Werder Bremen might have entered Germany’s festive break enjoying a real purple patch, the River Islanders have come crashing back down to earth. Suffering a major collapse on home soil last weekend as they slumped to a 3-1 loss at the hands of Hoffenheim, Friday’s guests almost find themselves sat in Bundesliga limbo after tumbling down the table. Suffering a routine 3-0 defeat away at runaway leaders Bayern Munich earlier in the month, Ole Werner’s side have now recorded just a single victory from any of their previous seven top-flight appearances. Getting the New Year underway with an action-packed 4-3 loss against RB Leipzig, Bremen should also be concerned by their most recent meeting against Freiburg. Hit with a 1-0 defeat when they welcomed the Champions League chasers to town for their reverse Bundesliga meeting on October 5th, the former Kiel boss should be bracing himself for another stern examination this weekend.

20:00 Leicester City vs Brentford 

While Brentford might have failed to collect back-to-back Premier League victories so far this season, the Bees are sat within touching distance of finding a route into the top-half of the table. Last seen putting in an impressive display as they clinched a deserved 1-0 victory away at London rivals West Ham, Thomas Frank’s men will be excited by their continued success away from the Gtech. Getting the New Year underway with a sensational 5-0 romp away at Southampton, Brentford have won each of their last three straight Premier League showdowns outside of west London. In fact, the Bees have secured three consecutive top-flight wins on there travels for the first time in history. Likewise, storming their way to a dominant 4-1 victory when they welcomed Leicester to the Gtech for their reverse Premier League battle on November 30th, Frank’s camp will be confident of breaking even more records on Friday night.

Eventually falling to a 2-0 loss at home against Arsenal last weekend, Leicester find themselves at the heart of a public struggle. Facing a real battle in the race to avoid an immediate Championship return, Ruud van Nistelrooy has a tremors amount of pressure on his shoulders. Getting Friday’s showdown underway sat in the relegation zone, the Foxes have continued to show a string of issues on either side of opening the New Year. Crashing out of the FA Cup earlier in the month after slumping to a controversial 2-1 defeat at Old Trafford, Leicester have now lost 10 of their previous 11 meetings against Premier League opposition across all competitions. Getting February underway with a nightmare 4-0 drumming away at Everton, van Nistelrooy’s men have also shown some glaring issues on home soil. It should be highlighted, Leicester have lost all of their previous five consecutive Premier League matchups at the King Power.
