Freiburg vs Union Berlin Prediction

Freiburg Form

Showing inconsistent form, Freiburg lost two of their past three matches, going down 2-0 against West Ham, before beating FC Koln 2-0. The joy was short-lived, as FC Heidenheim proved too strong in a 3-2 defeat. Freiburg claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga. They also drew two and lost one, as they scored 12 and conceded nine goals.

Union Berlin Form

Union Berlin suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches as they were run over by Real Madrid in a 2-3 defeat. Bochum also proved too hard to handle as they won 3-0, before Union Berlin were able to strike back in a 2-0 win against FC Koln. Union Berlin are winless in their last six away games in the Bundesliga, in which they drew zero and lost six. They conceded 16 goals while scoring three themselves.

While it might not be a big surprise to see Union Berlin steal a good result at Europa-Park Stadion, form nevertheless looks better for Freiburg. They get the nod on Saturday.

Freiburg took 20 points from their last eight encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Bundesliga table. This amounts to six wins after scoring 13 times and conceding five. Union Berlin scored two goals and conceded 20 in their last seven encounters with teams in the top half of the Bundesliga. This lead to zero wins and zero points. Freiburg claimed seven wins, three draws as well as six defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Union Berlin have a record of four wins, one draw and ten defeats in the Bundesliga.
