The Bundesliga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Union Berlin take on SC Freiburg in an important clash at the Alte Forsterei on Saturday. Both teams have stepped up in recent weeks and will want to win this game.
SC Freiburg are in eighth place in the Bundesliga standings and have been inconsistent this season. The away side played out a 1-1 draw against FC Heidenheim last week and will need to take it up a notch in this fixture.
Union Berlin, on the other hand, are in 16th place and have struggled this season. The hosts slumped to a 3-2 defeat at the hands of Koln in their previous game and will need to bounce back this weekend.
