Eintracht Frankfurt – Union Berlin
The next phase of the Bundesliga is underway and with the upcoming 27th matchday, there are only eight games left to play in the season. The next duels are therefore particularly important to avoid coming under unnecessary pressure at the end. Eintracht Frankfurt, a team with European ambitions, will face Union Berlin, a team whose only aim this season is to avoid relegation. Find out who has a slight advantage in this match in our Frankfurt – Union betting tip.
After two wins in a row, Frankfurt were beaten on the last matchday before the international break. Against a Dortmund side that played well on the road, Frankfurt failed to make any headway. Despite taking an early 1:0 lead, Eintracht were unable to hold on and ultimately suffered a 3:1 defeat. Nevertheless, they are currently on course to play in Europe next year and will be looking to take the next step in that direction against Union Berlin.
This international break was certainly more reassuring for the Berliners than for other clubs. With the 2-1 home win and the resulting three points against Werder Bremen on the last matchday, they were able to build up a comfortable cushion to the dangerous relegation places. The two goals within two minutes were enough for the Union side and they will be looking to build on this performance against Frankfurt.

Frankfurt Form & Balance Check
Frankfurt are playing a fundamentally solid season and are right on target in terms of their goals. They are currently in sixth place, which would be enough to qualify for the Europa League, and have a healthy five-point gap to the team behind them. Nevertheless, they should not rest on their laurels. In the second half of the season, they have only won three times in nine games, lost twice and drawn four times. That puts them in ninth place in the table for the second half of the season
At home they feel comfortable
At home, Eintracht are a force to be reckoned with. In twelve home games, they have won six times, drawn five and lost just once, putting them in 6th place in the home table. With a goal difference of 22:12, they prove once again that they feel comfortable at home in the Postbankstadion and play with complete freedom

Union Form & Balance Sheet Check
The Union are currently well on the way to securing their place in the league, but they shouldn’t get too excited just yet. They are in 13th place with 28 points, nine points clear of the relegation places, but they must remain focused if they are to avoid coming under pressure. In their last five games, they have won twice, drawn once and lost twice. Berlin’s big problem this season has been their away trips. They have already lost nine times in 13 games away from home and have only managed two wins
Fearful opponent Frankfurt?
The Berliners have only won three times in 17 matches against their upcoming opponents from Frankfurt, losing ten times. No team in the current Bundesliga has lost more often than Frankfurt. A sobering goal difference of 18:38 underlines this rather meagre performance whenever they face Eintracht. So it’s quite possible to say that Eintracht is something of a fear opponent for Union Berlin

- Last game won
Coach Dino Toppmöller has no suspensions or injuries to complain about at the moment, but he will probably rotate a little. Buta could replace Knauff in the attacking line, while Chaibi is also an option on the wing.
Coach Nenad Bjelica will still be without András Schäfer (suspension) and the injured Hollerbach (ankle injury) for the upcoming match. Schäfer will once again be replaced by Tousart in midfield, while Volland, Vertessen and Kaufmann are options up front
