Both sides will contend with injury worries; Union Berlin will be without right-back Josip Juranovic, reserve goalkeeper Yannic Stein, and defensive midfielder Lucas Tousart. However, none of these players have been regular starters and coach Bo Svensson will be able to field his strongest lineup.
SC Freiburg, meanwhile, will be without Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Manuel Gulde, Merlin Rohl, and Kenneth Schmidt. However, these players usually take place on the bench – meaning they will have little impact on the team’s prospects.
Our football predictions analysis shows that based on their form coming into the showdown on Friday, the two teams will deliver an evenly contested match that will end in a draw.
