While it has been frustrating in the past few weeks for Eintracht, they still hold on to the 4th spot and are on course to qualify for the UCL next season. But facing the league leaders Bayern and Bayer in back-to-back rounds and losing both fixtures quite badly could hurt the team’s morale, something that Union might perhaps use to deliver a surprise here.
Eintracht Frankfurt Team News
The Eagles suffered two resounding defeats against Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen. In both cases, they conceded 4 goals while scoring just 1. Nobody had assumed, nor expected Eintracht to push for a title challenge, but those losses just came as a statement of how big the gap is within the Bundesliga top 4. Now, against Union Berlin, Dino Toppmöller’s men have a perfect opportunity to get back to their winning ways. A midweek win to Ajax in the EL might have restored some confidence for Eintracht and they could use that against Union. In the Bundesliga, the team from Frankfurt is the 5th best host in the league, while Union is ranked as the third-worst traveling outfit, so this could be the perfect game for Toppmöller’s team to assert their top 4 claim.
Union Berlin Team News
Three consecutive Bundesliga losses have placed Union Berlin dangerously close to the relegation zone. Losing to Gladbach and Dortmund is more or less expected, but the real shock came in the last round where the team lost to newcomers Holstein Kiel as well. Another tough game is on the horizon for The Iron Ones, especially when considering that their away form this season has been abysmal – just 8 points won on the road for Steffen Baumgart’s men. However, their last victory did come away from home in a thrilling 0-4 dismantling of Hoffenheim, but it is worthwhile to point out that this win is the only one for the team across their last 8 Bundesliga travels.
Head-to-Head-Games
Recent H2Hs between Eintracht and Union tend to be closely contested as the 2 most-recent meetings ended in stalemates. Before that, Eintracht managed to secure back-to-back wins, and Union also managed to get one win over The Eagles within the last 5 H2H’s. Eintracht Frankfurt have also won 4 of the last 5 games at Deutsche Bank Park.

Eintracht Frankfurt – Union Berlin Betting Prediction
I am going with an Eintracht win for this one. Despite two disappointing results against the league leaders in the previous two rounds, I think that the Eagles will be more than motivated to win the game with Union and alleviate the pressure put on their top 4 claim. As hosts, their results are also quite good, whilst Union’s travelling form is among the worst in the league. Meetings between the two teams also point to a slight advantage for Eintracht, but looking only at games at Deutsche Bank Park, we can see that Dino Toppmöller’s have a crushing advantage over Union.
