Head-to-head statistics Freiburg - Union

Freiburg Team Overview
🔴 In the match against Bayer Leverkusen (3-3), Matthias Ginter equalized in the dying minutes, a game where Freiburg led twice. The "Brazilians of Breisgau" haven't lost at home since August 23, 2025, but their away form tells a different story: they've won only two out of 13 league matches (3 draws, 8 losses). Their home unbeaten streak of 16 matches (12 wins, 4 draws) is the longest for Freiburg in the past 20 years. Back in the 2002/03 season, the Black Forest club went 17 games unbeaten, although that was in the second tier of German football.
⚪ On Thursday, the "Brazilians of Breisgau" suffered an away defeat to Belgian side Genk (0-1) in the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16. Freiburg did find the back of the net, but the goal was ruled out for offside. The team failed to level the score before the final whistle. Julian Schuster's squad now faces the task of overturning a narrow deficit in the return leg at home next week.

Union Team Overview
⚪ In the last round, Derrick Köhn converted a penalty in the 18th minute, giving Union an early lead in their home match against Werder Bremen (1-4). However, the game quickly turned against the Berliners following András Schäfer's red card in the 19th minute. The "Iron Ones" are just four points above the relegation zone, having secured only one win in their last ten matches. The team faces significant defensive issues and frequently makes mistakes in their own half.
🔴 For the remainder of the season, Union face a tough battle to retain their Bundesliga status. Their attacking output has also noticeably declined, and they often struggle to create dangerous chances. The pressure from their league position is mounting, and each subsequent defeat could further complicate their situation. In the upcoming fixtures, it's crucial for the "Iron Ones" to stabilize their play to avoid slipping into the relegation zone by the season's end.

🎙️ Julian Schuster after the match in Belgium: "We hoped to be in a different position, but anything is possible in the return leg. That's the only positive takeaway from today's game. We should have been ahead within the first 15 minutes-it would have helped us a lot. Today's performance just wasn't enough."
❌ Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Max Rosenfelder remain unavailable.
Union
🎙️ Steffen Baumgart ahead of the match against Freiburg: "We've picked up points in our last four encounters with Freiburg. It's a clear sign that we can and intend to do so again. We're heading there with a firm goal - to get a result."
❌ Diogo Leite, Tom Rothe, and Robert Skov are sidelined with injuries. Leopold Querfeld and Andras Schäfer will miss the match due to suspensions.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
Sven Jablonski will officiate the match at Europa-Park Stadion. Over his last 10 matches, the referee has averaged 3.1 yellow cards per game. Freiburg's players typically receive 1.6 cautions per match, while Union's players average 2.2. We predict over 3.5 yellow cards, as was the case in their head-to-head clash earlier this season.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Freiburg consistently finds the net at home, while Union's defense continues to make errors in every game. Despite efforts to stabilize, the visitors have been conceding frequently in recent rounds. Given the hosts' attacking prowess and Berlin's vulnerabilities, we expect at least one goal from each side. Freiburg has both scored and conceded in 15 of their last 17 Bundesliga home matches. Most likely, both teams will score, ensuring an entertaining match.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The "Brazilians of Breisgau" average 4.5 corners per match, while the "Iron Ones" manage around 5. However, Union tends to be more conservative on the road. Therefore, we predict Union's individual total under 4.5 corners, a statistic recorded in 6 of their last 7 visits to Europa-Park Stadion.
Editor's Prediction
Freiburg continue to impress at home, showing consistency in attack. Union struggle defensively and rarely return to the capital with points in hand. The hosts are likely to dominate possession and create chances, posing significant challenges for the Berlin side. Considering the teams' form and motivation in the standings, a Freiburg victory seems a reasonable outcome. The likely scoreline is 3-1.
