Bundesliga Preview
There will be intense pressure on both Union Berlin and Freiburg this weekend, with the sides separated by only goal difference with just three matches of the season remaining. Union holds the narrow advantage over their Champions League rivals, as they sit fourth. A victory for Union could once again see them move up to fourth, but they have claimed just a single victory over their last five.
Union comes into this match after suffering an eighth defeat of the season in their previous fixture. That loss was suffered on the road against Augsburg, with the only goal of the match being netted ten minutes into the second half. Union dominated the play throughout the contest, but they just couldn’t find a way through against their rivals.
This appears to be a bigger match for Freiburg this weekend, as they could move back into the Champions League places with a victory on the road. They could also end the weekend as high as third in the standings, depending on other results. Their recent form is encouraging, as they have landed three wins from their previous four.
However, their three-game winning run was brought to an end last weekend, as they were beaten by third-placed RB Leipzig. It was a close game between the sides, and Freiburg were unfortunate to end up on the losing side, with the only goal of the game being scored in the 73rd minute.
