Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

Both sides have had very similar starts to the campaign, and they’ve been good ones. Union Berlin sit 7th, whilst Freiburg are 6th, so these sides will certainly be looking for European qualification come the end of the season.

Union Berlin Preview

Union Berlin Predicted Line-up - Frederik Ronnow; Leopold Querfeld, Kevin Vogt, Danilho Doekhi; Diogo Leite, Rani Khedira, Aljoscha Kemlein, Christopher Trimmel; Benedict Hollerbach, Woo-Yeong Jeong; Jordan Siebatcheu

Union Berlin have been fantastic this season, despite not winning in their last three games. In all fairness, their 3-0 loss last time out did come against table topping Bayern Munich.

Until that loss, they actually had the best defensive record in the league, having only conceded five in eight games.

Diogo Leite has been vital in their secure defence, so he’ll be key here.

Freiburg Preview

Freiburg Predicted Line-up - Noah Atubolu; Christian Gunter, Philipp Lienhart, Matthias Ginter, Lukas Kubler; Patrick Osterhage, Max Egglestein; Vincenxo Grifo, Eren Dinkci, Ritsu Doan; Chukwubuike Adamu

Freiburg have also endured a fantastic start to the season, in fact, one point better than their upcoming opponents.

They’ve also collected the same amount of points as their opponents in the last five fixtures, seven.

Ritsu Doan already has four goals to his name this season, and he’ll be looking to add to that again.
