Union Berlin hosts Freiburg in round 8 of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, October 19th at Stadion An der Alten Försterei (Berlin)
In the last season, Union Berlin managed to outrank Hamburg in Bundesliga 2 by one point. The Berlin team jumped into the playoff matches, beat Stuttgart and promoted to the elite of German football for the first time in its history. But for how long? After seven rounds, the Iron Ones have only 4 points in the asset, five defeats, 6-13 goal difference, and no bright prospects for the future.

Freiburg unexpectedly showed a strong start in the championship. Four wins and only one loss in seven matches of the tournament. Having 14 points, Freiburg shares 3rd-7th places with the other four teams. The team is also good at the attack. It has already scored 15 goals. Only two teams in the league have more, Bayern and Borussia (D). And Freiburg scored in all games of the tournament, without exception. In the last round, it managed to aggrieve Dortmund’s goalkeeper twice.
Although Union Berlin is a debutant of the league and an outsider of the championship, and Freiburg is still stroking its ego in the quartet of leaders, I won’t predict the winner. First, Union can brace itself and shoot after a break in the championship – the team had two weeks to make out its errors. Secondly, Freiburg, in spite of its current place in the standings, is far from the top team. And it can sail away at any time. But the visitors may well score a couple of goals. As I noted above, they scored in all seven championship matches. Five of them ended with more than one goal scored. In turn, Berlin conceded in all championship games. Freiburg scored in five of six head-to-head matches, and three of them ended with more than one goal scored. The team has every chance of repeating such an outcome.
Prediction for the match: Freiburg to score over 1.0 goal scored
