Union Berlin vs Freiburg Prediction & Betting Tips (18 May)

By wanting to fly too close to the sun, the Berlin Union has visibly burned its wings and it could well experience a fall as violent as it is unexpected. Because after having participated in the first Champions League in its history at the start of the season, the club from the German capital risks having to return to the lower level this weekend. 16th at the start of this last day, it is 2 points behind Mainz, the first non-relegation place, and is therefore virtually in a play-off position. Also be careful because in the event of a defeat this weekend and a victory for Cologne at the same time, it could be directly relegated. The Iron Men are therefore in great danger, especially since they have only taken a small point over the last 6 days. It was on the field of Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-0. Since then, they have been beaten in 2 very important matches played against Bochum 3-4 and Cologne 3-2, two direct competitors in the race to maintain.

On the other hand, Friborg is far from all its considerations and these fears around his survival in the elite. However, the Black Forest club is still playing quite big this weekend because they must win to try to secure a place in Europe next season. Currently 8th in the standings, the men of Christian Streich, who will leave the club at the end of this season after 29 years at the club including 12 as head coach, are only one point behind 7th, Hoffenheim. . Unfortunately for them, the Brazilians from Brigsau are no longer winning and they have just had 4 unsuccessful matches against Mainz 1-1, Wolfsburg defeated 1-2, Cologne 0-0 and Heidenheim 1-1.

On the Union side, replacement goalkeeper Busk, central defender Vogt, Austrian veteran Trimmel and French full-back Roussillon will not be able to hold their place for this very important match. To this we add that midfielder Khedira is suspended for this last day of the season. Among the rare satisfactions of this season, we find the left piston Gosens who planted 6 times this year while the striker Hollerbach only scored 4 goals. The former Monegasque Volland is doing even worse with only 3 goals to his credit despite his converted penalty last week.

The Friborgs will travel to the capital without the long-term absentee Kyereh, the relatively important midfielder Röhl, replacement Schmidt, the Austrian international Lienhart, the unused Rosenfelder as well as defender Ginter who are still stuck in the infirmary for this last match of the year. Suspended for the last 2 days, the French defender Sildillia is back. Up front, we should certainly find the Italian Grifo (8 goals, 7 assists in the league), the Japanese Doan (6 goals), the German Holler (7 goals) and the Austrian Gregoritsch (7 goals, 4 assists) who will all try to shine one last time this year.
