Union Berlin will invite Freiburg to Stadion An der Alten Försterei in the Bundesliga on Friday. The two teams are separated by a place and a point in the league table, with Breisgau-Brasilianer leading seventh-placed Berlin.
The hosts are winless in their last three games in all competitions, having suffered two defeats on the spin. They played Bayern Munich last week and lost 3-0 away, ending their unbeaten streak in the league after three games.
The visitors are winless in their last two league games and were held to a goalless draw at home by Mainz last week. They failed to score after five games and will look to return to goalscoring ways.

Union Berlin vs Freiburg Prediction
Die Eisernen are winless in their last three games, failing to score in the last two. They have won four of their last five home games in the Bundesliga and will look to build on that form. They are unbeaten in their last six home meetings against the visitors, recording four wins.
Josip Juranović returned to full training after a three-month absence due to an injury and faces a late fitness test. Lucas Tousart also took part in training and is a doubt. Kevin Volland is not fully fit and should return after the international break.
Breisgau-Brasilianer have been in good touch recently, winning three of their last five games across all competitions. They have won just one of their last eight meetings against the capital club.
Jordy Makengo and Kenneth Schmidt have returned from muscle injuries but are unlikely to start here. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Merlin Röhl are out with their respective injuries.
Considering the current form of the two teams, they are expected to play out a low-scoring draw.
