At Stadion An der Alten Försterei on 1 November 2025, Union Berlin host SC Freiburg in a Bundesliga matchup between two sides aiming to regain momentum after uneven recent form. Both teams advanced in the DFB-Pokal midweek, but now turn focus back to league points in what looks like a balanced, tactical contest.
Main Pick: Union Berlin to Win & Over 1.5 Goals
The selection combines a home win with Over 1.5 total goals. Union’s home strength remains their biggest asset, and with both teams showing lapses defensively, a 2–0 or 2–1 type of result fits the likely pattern.
Union Berlin: Reliable at Home
Union may not be the surprise package they were two seasons ago, but the Alte Försterei still provides a major boost. The extra-time Cup win over Arminia Bielefeld reinforced team spirit after a shaky league run. Baumgart’s men are expected to show more energy and directness in attack here, using their aerial power and pressing game to test Freiburg’s back line.
SC Freiburg: Capable but Inconsistent
Christian Streich’s team continue to alternate between solid and subpar performances. Their defeat at Leverkusen was understandable, yet their defensive organization away from home has not been convincing. Freiburg’s transitions remain dangerous, but sustaining control in high-intensity away games is an ongoing problem.
