Union Berlin vs Freiburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-10-31 14:30.
[p]Two sides stuck in mid-table with aspirations of challenging the European places meet in the German capital, as Union Berlin host Freiburg. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Union’s indifferent campaign continued with a 1-0 defeat at Werder Bremen, leaving them with just one win from their last four Bundesliga games (D1, L2). That downturn in form leaves them no fewer than five points worse off after eight games than they were in four of their last five Bundesliga campaigns. They can at least take some heart from seven of their ten-point haul for the season coming from home games (W2, D1, L1), and a mere two defeats from their last nine Bundesliga games as hosts (W3, D4) would suggest they’ll bounce back from last weekend’s disappointment.[/p]
[p]Freiburg’s nine-game unbeaten streak across all competitions (W5, D4) was halted by a 2-0 loss at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend. Christian Streich’s side are now four league matches without victory (D3, L1), slipping into the bottom half and handing them their lowest points tally after eight Bundesliga rounds since 2020/21. They’ll be eager to get back to winning ways here, but just one win from four away league games this term (D1, L2) does cast doubt over their current ability to do so, particularly given both defeats came against sides who, like Union, start this round above them in the table. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Union Berlin have had the upper hand in recent meetings, going unbeaten in the last five encounters (W3, D2). Freiburg have only ever won one historical away H2H (D3, L4).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Three of Union’s last four home league matches produced over 1.5 first-half goals. [/p]
[p]Only Hoffenheim (121) have committed more Bundesliga fouls than Union coming into the round (117). [/p]
[p]No side has attempted fewer Bundesliga shots than Freiburg coming into the round (89). [/p]
[p]Seven of Freiburg’s eight league games this season saw at least one first-half goal.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Rani Khedira opened the scoring when helping Union to a 2-1 away win against Freiburg last season with what was his only goal of the season, while he scored in the last home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach. Vincenzo Grifo scored the second goal for his side in two of their last three competitive matches and is the highest scorer in the history of this fixture with five goals. [/p]
[p]Union will be sweating on Andrej Ilić after he was taken off in the first half against Werder Bremen last weekend. The visitors look to have no fresh injury concerns.[/p]
