What shaped the view
- + Semi-final tension can slow phases, but Freiburg’s width and set-piece supply give them enough routes without needing an open game.
- + Official XIs are in: Braga’s defensive/holding depth is thinned, while Freiburg start a solid Ginter-Lienhart spine with Grifo, Beste and Suzuki behind Matanovic.
- + Away +0.25 at 1.85 is the cleanest eligible side-family angle; totals are playable but not clearly stronger than taking the draw protection.

Why it made the board
Freiburg look the more balanced XI: a stronger central-defensive base, better natural width, and enough attacking quality to test a Braga back line missing depth. The +0.25 keeps the draw onside in a tight first-leg style script.
Main risk
Tactical Counter: Braga’s Moutinho-Zalazar-Horta pockets can create central overloads and pin Freiburg’s younger full-backs; secondary risk is the market has already priced in Braga’s absences.
