Good old fashioned due diligence is the best place to start. Look for freelancers with a good reputation, proven completion records and past experience. Where possible, use people you've worked successfully with in the past and so on. Bad freelancers get found out pretty quickly and word tends to spread, but it all depends on exactly what you're hiring for and how.
That said, I think you're asking the wrong question because, in truth, it's almost impossible to know what somebody else is thinking or is going to do. What you should be thinking about is how to mitigate against the possibility, regardless of probability. For example, spreading work out rather than using one person for everything (Though this may also have its challenges), ensuring proper contracts with milestone payments and so on. It may even be possible to leave room to sue for project failure where the freelancer is liable, but in practice this may be hard, if not impossible, to prove or claim for.

Freelancers sometimes abandon projects in the middle, even if they realize they would not get paid.
Reasons for such action could be traced back to the employer (the project manager), who is making the freelancer unhappy with the payment/ with way the project is being run/ with the overall communication process/ with lack of support and tools/ etc.
Equally possible is that the reasons for abandoning a project may lay with the freelancer himself - e.g. he is generally unprofessional/ gets bored easily/ took over more projects than he could handle/ etc.
My question is about the latter case. Let's assume everything is perfect on behalf of the employer (the project manager). How could you predict inclination in a freelancer to abandon a project (upon hiring that freelancer or within the first few days of work)?
