Union Berlin take on the visitors Freiburg in the round 10 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, November 8th at Stadion An der Alten Försterei (Berlin).
Union Berlin had shown remarkable and consistent progress, with the peak reached two seasons ago. During that season, Union Berlin led for a considerable stretch and ultimately finished among the top four. This granted them the opportunity to join the Champions League after other European competitions. However, a crisis hit right before their Champions League debut. It was only after the departure of Urs Fischer, the architect of their success, that things started to improve. In the end, Union barely managed to edge past Bochum, avoiding relegation playoffs on tiebreakers. They hope to avoid a repeat of last season’s struggles, and under new head coach Bo Svensson, who arrived in the summer, the team is picking up points more consistently. They were, however, eliminated from the DFB-Pokal by Arminia in October, and a 0-3 loss to Bayern last matchday was unsurprising.

Freiburg enters new era without Streich. For a long time, Freiburg had Christian Streich as their long-serving coach, leading them to Europa League campaigns and even knockout rounds. However, last season saw them finish only in 10th place in the Bundesliga, prompting a change with Julian Schuster now in charge. Under Schuster, Freiburg has had a strong start. They’ve knocked out a second opponent in the cup, Hamburg, who remains a famous name despite its long-standing struggles. In the Bundesliga, Freiburg has secured a good number of wins, though losses have come not only to Bayern and RB Leipzig but also to newly promoted St. Pauli, who beat them 3-0 at home. Last matchday saw a goalless away draw with Mainz.
In their last 12 meetings, Union Berlin has won 7 times, with 2 losses. Last season, they won 2-1 at home after a goalless draw away. Union Berlin is favored, but they haven’t been especially impressive. Expect the visitors, who are performing well in the league, to at least avoid defeat.
Prediction for the match: Union Berlin not to lose (1X).
