Eintracht Frankfurt vs Union Berlin prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2022-09-30 13:30.
Reigning UEFA Europa League (UEL) champions Eintracht Frankfurt have made a respectable start to the Bundesliga campaign (W3, D2, L2), which has proved to be a slow burner considering all three wins came over the last four rounds. That uptick in form was much needed after failing to win their opening three games, with the players seemingly responding positively to boss Oliver Glasner’s earlier public shaming of the squad as “slow and ponderous”.
Next on the agenda for Glasner will be to improve Frankfurt’s home form, as his side are without a goal in over three hours of play here which spans across back-to-back defeats. Goals haven’t been an issue against surprise league leaders Union Berlin though, with the Eagles netting over two goals per game on average across their prior six encounters here (W3, D2, L1).
Despite topping the Bundesliga standings, Union Berlin have lost both of their European games this season, though the Iron Ones bounced back from their latest UEL defeat with a convincing 2-0 win over Wolfsburg which may well hint that Union have once again given European action a lower priority. That approach is bearing fruit as Union are enjoying their finest ever Bundesliga start and they head into this round with the only remaining unbeaten record (W5, D2)!
That’s quite an achievement for a side that are playing just their fourth top-flight campaign in club history. Each passing result for Urs Fischer’s men creates yet more history as their latest league win extended their club record unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to 14 games (W11, D3), yet two defeats from the last four H2H encounters perhaps indicates that run may be nearing an end.
Players to watch: Frankfurt’s Daichi Kamada proved decisive with two second-half goal involvements against Stuttgart in Frankfurt’s last outing and enjoyed a positive international break, scoring for Japan in a 2-0 win over the USA. On the other hand, Union’s Sheraldo Becker didn’t feature for Suriname over the break but may appreciate the rest as he is the Bundesliga's top-scorer, with three of his six goals proving decisive in victory.
Hot stat: Frankfurt have already lost a joint league-high seven Bundesliga home games during 2022 (W2, D4) but they’ve never lost eight in one calendar year.
