Union Berlin vs. Freiburg: Match Prediction
Even with the support of their fans, Union Berlin has struggled to achieve maximum results recently. In their last 12 home Bundesliga matches, Union Berlin has managed just three victories (5 draws, 4 losses). During this period, the team even lost to last season's underdogs, Holstein Kiel and Heidenheim.
Freiburg, on the other hand, has shown confidence in away matches and often collects points. In their last 11 away Bundesliga games, the team has suffered only two defeats, securing six victories in that period. Additionally, in the previous season, the club did not lose to Union Berlin on their turf (0-0). I believe Julian Schuster's side will perform well enough to at least avoid defeat in this encounter. My prediction: Freiburg to win or draw
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
