The Matchday 27 Bundesliga clash between Freiburg and Union will take place on March 30 at the Europa-Park Stadium. Freiburg vs. Union: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Freiburg
In the last round, Julian Schuster's side saw their six-match clean sheet streak in the league come to an end. However, the 2-2 draw against Mainz marked the team's seventh consecutive unbeaten game in the Bundesliga (4 wins, 3 draws). Notably, Freiburg scored more than one goal for just the second time in this stretch. The club has scored 36 goals in total – the fewest among teams in the European competition zone. They currently sit sixth in the league table.
- No more than two goals have been scored in 5 of Freiburg's last 7 league matches.
- The team has not lost in 8 of their last 9 home Bundesliga games (6 wins, 2 draws).
- Freiburg scored first in 5 of their last 7 home matches in this tournament.
Projected lineup for Freiburg (4-5-1)
Noah Atubolu – Philipp Lienhart, Christian Günter, Matthias Ginter, Kiliann Sildillia – Patrick Osterhage, Maximilian Eggestein, Lucas Höler, Ritsu Doan, Vincenzo Grifo – Chikwubuike Adamu.
Union
In the last round, the Berliners caused a sensation by taking points from Bayern (1-1). This draw was Steffen Baumgart's side's first in their last six league matches (2 wins, 3 losses). It's worth noting that the team has conceded in every match during this period. In the league table, Union has climbed to 13th place, distancing themselves from the relegation zone by 7 points.
- The club has not scored more than one goal in 6 of their last 8 Bundesliga games.
- Union has lost 7 of their last 9 away league matches (2 wins).

Freiburg vs. Union: Match Prediction
In the last round, Julian Schuster's side ended their impressive clean sheet streak in the league, but their opponents were Mainz, who are fighting for a Champions League spot and are among the top seven highest-scoring teams in the tournament. Meanwhile, Freiburg has not conceded in their last three Bundesliga home games. I believe Freiburg will also keep their upcoming opponent at bay. Moreover, the Berliners are second from the bottom in terms of goals scored, and Union has left the field without scoring in 7 away matches this season.
As for the outcome, my preference is for the hosts. Freiburg has won 5 of their last 7 home league matches (1 draw, 1 loss). Meanwhile, the Berliners have lost 8 of their last 11 away games in this tournament, with two of their three wins coming against struggling Hoffenheim and Holstein.
Considering these facts, my prediction: Freiburg to win and Total under 3.5 goals
