"For Union it’s about staying in the league. They’ll do everything for that, and we’ll do everything to achieve a nice result, so it’s a meeting between two highly motivated teams. We’ll know about the other matches, at least in the last 20-25 minutes. There are so many possible scenarios, but I have no tactics up my sleeve, such as us going there looking for a high probability of a draw to qualify for the European stage. An approach like that is no option for us."

Grote ahead of Freiburg

They’re good opponents who aren’t in the top third of the table and fighting for European competition for no reason. They’ve been doing it for years. In any case, we’re expecting an intense match. A lot is at stake for both sides, and at the end of the day that’s the foundation in every Bundesliga match. It always comes down to the basics, but at the end of the day it’ll be about a plan of course, it’ll be about our behaviour in defence and attack, certainly adapted to Freiburg."

What's at stake?

So much, and for both clubs. Freiburg - in eighth - are chasing a place in European competition while Union are hoping to propel themselves out of the relegation play-off spot and towards Bundesliga safety.

Last time out

Both of these teams were also in the bottom three when they last met on Matchday 17, but Union would prevail that day thanks to goals from David Datro Fofana and Benedict Hollerbach.
