There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Bundesliga table so far. Here's the Freiburg - Union Berlin latest:
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
These teams have little in common geographically as Union Berlin have to travel 800 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
