Freiburg

LDWLWD ⚖

Freiburg prepare for this match following on from a 0-0 Bundesliga 1 drawn game vs Werder Bremen.

In that game, Freiburg managed 53% possession and 8 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. SV Werder Bremen got 12 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target.

It has been all too rare in recent times where Freiburg have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Freiburg have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 9 goals during that time. Let’s see whether or not that trend will end up being sustained in this game.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Freiburg:

• have not lost a league tie with Union Berlin in their last 2 matches.
• have not been beaten in their last 7 league matches at home.
