Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predictions

• Frankfurt are currently winless in seven consecutive away games.
• Union Berlin are one of just two remaining unbeaten home sides in the Bundesliga.
• Union Berlin boast the league’s strongest home defensive record with just eight goals conceded.

Bouncing back from continental woes

Both Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt saw their European adventures come to a crashing halt with identical 3-0 defeats in midweek European action, so the focus for these sides swiftly turns back to matters of qualifying once again via the Bundesliga.

Not so long ago, Union Berlin were challenging for the Bundesliga title which is a credit to the club that are in just their fourth ever season in the top flight. However, a run of four winless games has seen them drop away, yet still clinging on to a top-four place ahead of this game.

Returning home could be just the tonic to end that rotten run, with Union one of just two sides along with ten-time consecutive champions Bayern Munich yet to lose a home game (W7, D4). In fact, Union also boast the league’s strongest home defensive record with just eight goals conceded, a statistic which should boost confidence ahead of this encounter.

Frustrated Frankfurt may struggle

Just five points behind Union and well in the race for Europe themselves, Frankfurt have endured a similarly woeful run of late and are aiming to end their own five-game winless run of competitive matches.

Frankfurt have lost just twice to Union in the top-flight, although a gruelling trip to Naples in midweek directly preceding yet another away fixture could see the Eagles enter this feeling a little deflated. Now winless in six away league games, Frankfurt have never waited longer for a Bundesliga road win under Oliver Glasner, a worrying trend for the visitors.

We’re siding with Union Berlin to edge this game between two solid, yet out-of-sorts sides, with a smaller stakes selection going the way of an ever so slight 1-0 home win in the correct score market to round out our selections.
