Freiburg host Celta Vigo tonight in a historic Europa League quarter-final first leg at Europa-Park Stadion. This marks Freiburg's first-ever European quarter-final appearance following their stunning 5-1 comeback against Genk in the previous round

The German side boasts a perfect home record in this competition, having won all five of their European fixtures in Freiburg while conceding just six goals-the joint-best defensive record in the tournament

Celta Vigo arrive in Germany on the back of a 3-2 victory at Valencia, sitting sixth in La Liga and unbeaten in eight consecutive away matches across all competitions

The Spanish side have been prolific in Europe, scoring 21 goals-the competition's highest tally-and will test Freiburg's resolute backline

However, they face selection concerns with Javi Rueda suspended and Carl Starfelt doubtful through injury
