Match Preview
Union Berlin has good memories from their last encounter with Freiburg. Their last-minute victory over the “Eagles” in the final round saved them from finishing in the relegation playoff zone.
This season, Union, under Bo Svensson, has started considerably stronger. With 15 points from 9 rounds, they currently sit in seventh place. They’ve only taken 1 point from their last two games, but those matches were against Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt—Union lost 0-3 in Munich and drew 1-1 at home against Frankfurt.
Freiburg missed out on European competitions last season but has emerged as an unexpected contender for a European spot this year. Under club legend Julian Schuster, Freiburg has accumulated 16 points and sits just above Union in sixth place.
However, Freiburg’s last two matches haven’t been particularly successful. In their previous game, they unexpectedly drew 0-0 at home against Mainz, following a 1-3 away defeat to RB Leipzig.

Union Berlin vs Freiburg prediction
This will be a clash between two teams who excel at defensive play, so it’s unlikely to be a high-scoring affair. My bet is on Under 2.5 goals.
