Match announcement
Union Berlin
Current form
Union is approaching the start of the tenth round on a small series of two defeats. First, they failed to beat Arminia in the Cup (0:2), and then there was a 0:3 defeat to Bayern in the championship. Both matches were away. It is hardly worth talking about a serious decline. After all, there was nothing much to count on against the Munich team from the beginning, and in the cup match, an early goal from the opponent knocked them out of their usual rut.
Overall, https://www.fc-union-berlin.de/en target=_blank rel=noopener>Union have been most successful at home since the start of the season. Bo Svensson men have not lost at home this season - three defeats and a draw. Only Eintracht managed to take one point from Berlin (1:1). As a result, the team has scored 10 of its total 15 points at home and is in seventh place in the Bundesliga standings. Today opponent Freiburg is ahead by one point.
Union is one of the most closed teams in Germany. In nine rounds, the Berliners have scored only nine goals and conceded eight, three of which were from Bayern. Bo Svensson team relies on defense and counterattacks in their game, and likes to play second fiddle.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Juranovic, Stein and Tusar will not appear on the field today.
Interesting trends for betting
- In the last three matches, Union lost in the first half
- Union have not lost in their last five Bundesliga matches at home – four wins and one draw
- In six of Union previous seven home matches in the national championship, there was an exchange of goals scored
- The home team players have been caught offside more often than their opponents in five of their previous six games
Estimated line-up : Rennow - Duki, Vogt, Leyte - Trimmel, Khedira, Kemlein, Rothe - En, Hollerbach, Vertessen.
Freiburg
Current form
Freiburg have not won in the last two rounds. First, they were unable to do much against Leipzig away (1:3). Then there was an unnecessary 0:0 home draw with Mainz. That encounter was rather boring football, with a lot of fighting in the center of the field, and the opponents ultimately only managed two shots on target. In the standings with 16 points, Julian Schuster team is in sixth place and is behind Bayer and Borussia Dortmund only on additional indicators.
Like their upcoming opponent, Freiburg feel most comfortable in home games, where they have collected 10 points since the start of the season. On the road, they have only managed to beat fairly modest opponents Heidenheim (3:0) and Werder (1:0). At the same time, the team has only lost away to Bayern (0:2) and Leipzig (1:3).
In terms of the game, we note the traditionally dense defense and active flanks, which are capable of straining any line of defense. However, it is unlikely that this will greatly frighten the reliable defense of Union, which is an inconvenient opponent for Freiburg.
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to injuries, Rohl, Kjaere, Gulde and Schmidt will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Freiburg have not lost in the first half in their last five matches
- At least three goals have been scored in seven of the team last ten Bundesliga games
- Freiburg have not drawn in their last five away league matches.
- In six of Freiburg last eight away matches in the Bundesliga, the bet on both teams not to score has paid off
Probable line-up : Atubolu - Kubler, Ginter, Linhart, Günther - Osterhage, Eggestein - Doan, Dinkci, Grifo - Adamu.

The upcoming match will feature neighbors in the tournament table and opponents of comparable class in many ways. An important factor for them is their home field, since it is at their stadiums that they score the lion share of points. We think that this is precisely why Union will be closer to victory today. Moreover, Freiburg has never taken a victory from Berlin in the entire history of face-to-face confrontations in the Bundesliga.
Our prediction is Union victory with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.72
Bet on total
Union always puts a solid defensive game at the forefront, it is no coincidence that it is the most closed team in the Bundesliga. Freiburg are not particularly productive away from home either. It is unlikely that we will see more than two goals scored today.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.70
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Since the start of the Bundesliga season, Union has played four matches at home, winning three of them. Characteristically, all wins were by one goal. We don’t expect this streak to end today, especially since the opponent is tough and rarely allows themselves to make obvious defensive lapses.
Prediction: Union wins by one or two goals with odds of 2.70
