Union Berlin vs Freiburg Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Union Berlin’s Bundesliga safety could come down to the result of their season finale against Freiburg. The matchday 34 fixture at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei in Berlin will see the hosts start 16th with 30 points, while the visitors are eighth with 42 points. Union are two points behind Mainz, and a win here will see them ensure league safety. A point is enough to make sure they at least stay 16th, which is the relegation playoff place. Even with a loss, they can be tied on points with Cologne, and it could boil down to goal difference. Union comes into this round with five losses from their last six league games, drawing only once. Three of those six games saw Union fail to score, and that could once again be a concern. Their recent home form isn’t any better, having lost four of their last five league games at this venue, including three straight defeats.

Freiburg start this game one point behind seventh-placed Hoffenheim and still have an outside chance of qualifying for Europe. With their goal difference highly inferior to Hoffenheim, the race to seventh could be over for Union if they fail to win here. With Dortmund set to play in the Champions League final, a win for them could even open up a European qualification spot. Freiburg are coming off a 1-1 draw with Heidenheim, which extended their winless run to four games, drawing three and losing one. That said, the visitors are in cracking form on the road, where they have won three and drawn one of their last four trips.
