Union Berlin - Freiburg betting tips and odds

Though we can call Union Berlin the favourites in this matchup, Freiburg are not about to make it easy for them. It’s gearing up to be an exciting match overall, and no outcome can be ruled out at this point.

The matchup this Saturday is rather one-sided, with Freiburg seen as the clear underdogs. Most bookmakers online have priced their victory at 3.70, which is enough to doubt such an outcome will happen.

The home team will be hoping to make up the points they lost in the previous round. The game itself was a dry affair with a stalemate in the first half and an eventual narrow home win for Augsburg. However, Union Berlin were expected to perform much better, with most bookmakers online naming them the favourites going in.

Freiburg had home-field advantage in their previous Bundesliga bout, but it wasn’t enough to stave off the 1.92 pre-match betting odds clearly painting them as the underdogs. Many were surprised that they maintained a strained draw until the second half, but that status quo was broken as the away team scored the decider.

The home team is here on the back of two consecutive matches in which fewer than 2 goals were scored in total. That’s not the kind of trend you want to be on, though it does display a kind of consistency.

Win or lose, the away team seems to often participate in rather uneventful matches. For instance, the previous two featured fewer than 2 goals each, which may be the start of a trend.

Surprisingly enough, the hosts already lost to Freiburg once this season. This came as a bit of an upset, to say the least, considering they are widely believed to be the stronger team.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the Unibet priced at 1.62 odds.
