Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Freiburg will look to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Heidenheim when they take on Union Berlin in the Bundesliga round 17. Christian Streich’s troops produce much better showings at home than on the travels, with the team eyeing their fifth home win of the process, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Midfielder Nicolas Hofler is banned for the match, while all Philipp Lienhart, Kenneth Schmidt, Max Rosenfelder, Christian Gunter, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The capital club, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Koln and they managed to get one, but given their six-game losing run on the road, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Saturday’s encounter. All David Datro Fofana, Rani Khedira, Robin Gosens, and Danilho Doekhi are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
