My Prediction
Freiburg by 1Well, forget the clairvoyant's crystal ball and toss away your lucky rabbit foot, because predicting sports isn't a supernatural endeavor, but a game of stats and facts.
Let's talk about the upcoming Bundesliga matchup: Freiburg vs Union Berlin, tantalizing isn't it? Or at least as tantalizing as a football match can be.
Freiburg is walking into this thing without their goalkeeper's info. Hush-hush secret weapon or a clerical hiccup? You decide. But we know Berlin has Frederik Rønnow between the sticks. He's boasting a respectable 7.17 average rating and 7 saves. Solid keeper work, no joking around.
Union Berlin has a formidable lineup. Leopold Querfeld has been gallivanting around the field with a 7.30 rating, a goal, and pinpoint accuracy when it comes to passing, and that's worth a mention. Josip Juranović, though goalless, isn't one to be ignored, either. The lad can put a foot on the ball.
Freiburg, on the other hand, is armed with Ritsu Doan, Matthias Ginter, and Lucas Höler leading their charge. No shortage of offensive power there, and with all those accurate passes I'd say they're more connected than a wi-fi network.
Does history repeat itself? If it does, Union Berlin might have the upper hand. Union Berlin has previously managed to net more balls in the Freiburg goal in their past meets. However, Freiburg had a better regular season track record with more wins and fewer losses.
Berlin's recent record has been rockier than a mountain hiking trail with some overwhelming defeats. Meanwhile, Freiburg's been drawing their last few games with more gusto than a passionate artist, their 5 - 0 victory over Werder Bremen notwithstanding.
Factoring in all the little, and not so little, considerations in this sporting equation, I'd say the scales favor Freiburg on this one.
