After being eliminated from the league phase of the UEFA Champions League, Eintracht Frankfurt will now focus on the Bundesliga — it is the only competition left in the squad’s schedule until the end of the season. Away against Union Berlin, the visitors will, as usual, take risks and play aggressively, and with a lighter schedule they should have enough energy for the full match.
Union Berlin
Union Berlin’s big problem is a shortage of full-backs: Josip Juranovic, Robert Skov and Maximilian Rote are all out injured, and in the summer first-choice defender Diogo Leite will leave the club as a free agent. The hosts have collected only three points out of a possible 15 in five matches since the start of 2026, and the defeats to Borussia Dortmund (0:3) and Hoffenheim (1:3) came with a combined 3.21 xGA.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt are winless in all competitions in eight consecutive matches, and the 1:3 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen was their fourth loss in a row. Against Bayer Leverkusen, the Eagles were creative in attack (1.10-1.15 in xG), but the opponents simply converted their chances better. They are in the top four in the Bundesliga for goals scored (40), and with Albert Riera’s appointment they should gain more balance in defence.
Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Under Steffen Baumgart, Union Berlin play in a very straightforward way — their initial game plan is predictable. Eintracht Frankfurt lost to the hosts in the first half of the season (3:4), but now, with a full week to prepare, they should have a good chance of winning.
