Freiburg vs Union Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 8 November 2026
🔊 Freiburg host Union Berlin in the ninth round of the Bundesliga with a chance to consolidate their place in the top three. The hosts won their last league match and enjoyed success in the Conference League this week, while the visitors are currently in the relegation play-off spot. However, Union Berlin are unbeaten in four consecutive league matches and have become much more solid defensively. Freiburg face a tough test against opponents who know how to disrupt attacking football.
Head-to-head: Union have the edge
📊 In their previous 16 competitive meetings, Freiburg have won three times, Union Berlin have won eight times, and five matches have ended in draws. The average is 2.5 goals per game, and both teams have scored in half of those meetings. In their most recent meeting in March 2026, Union Berlin won 1-0 away thanks to a stoppage-time goal. As a result, the Berlin side remain a difficult opponent for Freiburg.
Head-to-head statistics Freiburg - Union
Freiburg: back to winning ways and a strong attack
Freiburg are third with 16 points after eight rounds. Julian Schuster’s side have won five matches, drawn one and lost two. After two defeats against Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, they got back on track with a 2-1 away win over Augsburg. Freiburg also secured a narrow victory over Trabzonspor in the Conference League on 5 November, having previously knocked Wolfsburg out of the German Cup. The club therefore head into the next round on the back of three consecutive wins.
The hosts’ attacking statistics are particularly impressive: 18 goals in eight rounds is a new club record at this stage of the league season. They have conceded only ten goals and have been fairly balanced in both phases of play. At home, Freiburg can apply sustained pressure thanks to their full-backs’ activity and the attacking group’s good understanding. However, after the trip to Turkey, the coaching staff will have to take the players’ physical condition into account.
Match Results: Freiburg
Union Berlin: defensive discipline and a prolonged winless run
Union Berlin are 16th with seven points after eight rounds. They have won one match, drawn four and lost three. The Berlin side are unbeaten in their last four league matches, although they have recorded only one win in that period. In the previous round, Mauro Lustrinelli’s side drew 1-1 at home to Cologne, surrendering their lead in the 79th minute.
The main change in the visitors’ play has been in defence. Union Berlin have conceded only two goals in the last four rounds, but have scored just three themselves. They sit very deep, try to limit the space between the lines and rarely allow opponents to create many dangerous chances. This approach could make things difficult for Freiburg, who prefer to take the initiative. However, Union Berlin’s lack of goals remains a serious problem.

Latest news
Freiburg
❌ Among the home side's absentees, Patrick Osterhage is worth noting as he recovers from a muscle injury. Florent Muslija is also continuing his rehabilitation from a knee injury.
Union Berlin
❌ Union Berlin will be without Robert Skov, Andrik Markgraf, Stanley Nsoki and the suspended Felix Uduokhai. Andrej Ilić remains doubtful as he is not yet ready for a full match workload.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
Over eight rounds, Freiburg’s players have received 15 yellow cards, while Union Berlin’s have received 22. That is an average of 1.88 and 2.75 bookings per match, respectively. The Berlin side commit more fouls (83 in total) when trying to stop opponents’ attacks and pay particular attention to defensive duels. Given the high level of physical contest and the visitors’ motivation in the standings, Total Yellow Cards - Over 3.5 is worth considering. Odds: 1.73*.
⚽ Goals Prediction
Freiburg have scored 18 goals in eight league rounds, but Union Berlin have become much more solid defensively: the visitors prefer to sit deep and limit space around their own penalty area. The average number of goals in their head-to-head meetings has not been particularly high either. Given Union Berlin’s defensive organisation and the hosts’ fatigue after an away European match, Total Goals - Under 3.5 looks an interesting option at odds of 1.50*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Freiburg’s matches average 8.25 corners, while Union Berlin’s average 9.13. The hosts take around 4.75 corners per match, compared with 3.38 for the visitors. The Berlin side rarely make extensive use of the flanks and prefer to focus on defending, so a high number of corners from them is unlikely. Total Corners - Under 10.5 is worth considering at 1.41*.
*Odds are approximate and may vary depending on the bookmaker.
⭐ Editor's Prediction
Freiburg have the edge in squad quality, attacking potential and league position. However, after a poor start, Union Berlin have become much more solid defensively and are now unbeaten in four consecutive league rounds. The hosts' workload following their European away trip to Turkey could be another factor. I do not expect Union Berlin to play too openly, so Total Goals - Under 3.5 looks the most appealing option. Freiburg have a good chance of winning, but are unlikely to win by a large margin. Correct score prediction: 1-0.
