Union Berlin preview: Looking to build on cup momentum
Union Berlin suffered a 1-0 defeat to Werder Bremen in their last Bundesliga outing, their third goalless performance in four league games. However, they responded positively with a 2-1 DFB-Pokal victory over Arminia Bielefeld in midweek.
That win was their second in three games, offering head coach Steffen Baumgart some encouragement.
Union have looked solid at home, losing just one of their five league matches at the Alte Försterei. However, defensive lapses remain an issue, with the team conceding in each of their last four.
Robert Skov is the only injury absentee for the hosts, and he is expected back in mid-November.
Andrej Ilic was subbed off in the first half against Werder Bremen last weekend, and he is a doubt.
Predicted lineup: Ronnow (GK), Doekhi, Querfeld, Leite, Trimmel, Khedira, Kemlein, Kohn, Burke, Ansah & Ilic

Freiburg preview: Struggling for creativity in attack
Freiburg’s recent 2-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen highlighted their attacking woes, with the team managing just one shot on target all game.
Head coach Julian Schuster has overseen mixed form in recent weeks (W2, D1, L1), though the DFB-Pokal win over Dusseldorf (3-1) should boost confidence.
Freiburg’s away record is steady, with one win, two draws and one loss in their last four on the road. However, they have not beaten Union in five meetings.
Daniel-Kofi Kyereh remains sidelined with a long-term knee injury, while Philipp Lienhart is also unavailable.
Predicted lineup: Atubolu (GK), Kubler, Rosenfelder, Ginter, Makengo, Eggestein, Manzambi, Beste, Holer, Scherhant & Adamu

Player to Watch: Vincenzo Grifo
