Fri Nov 08 19:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Union Berlin Aiming for Third Place with Positive Stats Against Freiburg

Berlin, November 8, 2024 – Union Berlin is aiming for a third-place spot in the Bundesliga standings, hoping to secure a victory against SC Freiburg in their upcoming match.

The statistics favor the home team, with Union boasting a strong home record this season, winning three of their four matches and drawing one. However, it’s another set of numbers that should make Freiburg nervous: Union Berlin has not lost a Friday night Bundesliga game for five years!

Since their first Friday night defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt in September 2019, Union has recorded six wins and one draw. This positive streak includes their memorable 2-1 victory against Freiburg in May 2024, where Janik Haberer’s late goal secured Union’s survival and dashed Freiburg’s hopes of participating in the Conference League.

The statistics paint an even grimmer picture for the visitors from Freiburg. They haven’t secured a win on a Friday night for eleven games, their last victory dating back to September 2010. While Freiburg’s new coach, Julian Schuster, is yet to experience a Friday night loss, Bo Svensson, Union’s head coach, boasts an impressive record of 1.7 points per game, a feat yet to be achieved by any other Union coach.

Both managers will be relying on their respective strong squads to secure a win in this exciting clash. Union will field Rönnow in goal, with Diogo Leite, Vogt, Doekhi in defense, and Skov, Khedira, Kemlein, Trimmel, Vertessen, Hollerbach, and Jeong in midfield and attack. Freiburg’s starting lineup will consist of Atubolu in goal, Günter, Lienhart, Ginter, and Kübler in defense, Osterhage, Eggestein, Grifo, Dinkci, and Doan in midfield, and Adamu in attack.

The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, and fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome.
