Freiburg vs Union Berlin: Can Freiburg stay in the race for a place in the UEFA Champions League?
On Sunday, November 8, we will see a German Bundesliga clash between Freiburg and Union Berlin. Kick-off is scheduled for 17:30 CET, and I suggest a bet on this game.
Freiburg vs Union Berlin: Match preview
Freiburg currently sit third in the Bundesliga table with 16 points to their name. The team have won three of their last six league matches and are just one point ahead of their nearest pursuer in fifth place. The race for a UEFA Champions League spot therefore remains extremely tight. At the same time, the Germans are competing in the UEFA Conference League, where they have collected six points after three rounds.
Union's situation is considerably more difficult. The Berlin side have lost 60% of their away matches this season and are currently hovering near the bottom of the table. After eight rounds, the team sit 16th out of 18 with just seven points. They are two points behind 15th place, the first position outside the relegation zone, so the battle to preserve their Bundesliga status is only just gathering pace.

Prediction
Freiburg are in very good form at the moment. They have started winning matches and have every chance of extending their run in a home game against one of the Bundesliga's struggling sides. I suggest backing a home win at odds of 1.50.
