Eintracht Frankfurt vs Union Berlin prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-09-20 13:30.
[p]Fresh from hammering Galatasaray in Europe on Thursday, Eintracht Frankfurt attempt to keep their momentum going against Union Berlin.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Eintracht Frankfurt enjoyed one of their greatest European nights on Thursday, as they kicked off their UEFA Champions League campaign with a 5-1 thrashing of Galatasaray. That was a fourth win in five games across all competitions this season (L1), and marked an immediate return to form following a 3-1 reversal to Bayer Leverkusen in their most recent Bundesliga outing. Dino Toppmöller’s side still have room for improvement defensively having kept just one clean sheet this season, against minnows Engers in the cup, but that does not detract from their lethal forward play, with only Bayern Munich scoring more than their eight league goals ahead of this round.[/p]
[p]Union Berlin are experiencing similar defensive struggles, as they have the joint-worst defence in the division ahead of this round. That wasn’t helped by a 4-2 defeat against Hoffenheim last weekend, with that serving as their second defeat in a row – more losses than they’d suffered in their 11 league games prior! Steffen Baumgart has his work cut out to turn around what has been Union’s worst-ever three-game start to a Bundesliga season, and they could make some more unwanted history here, as after losing 3-0 to Borussia Dortmund in their first away league game of the campaign, Union could now lose their opening two away games for the first time in Bundesliga history. [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Union Berlin were 2-1 victors at Deutsche Bank Park last season, but had previously won just one of their nine away trips to Frankfurt (D3, L5).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]

[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Frankfurt youngster Can Uzun was on target before half-time against Galatasaray in midweek, but he has netted six of his seven Bundesliga goals after the break. Although he is yet to score this term, just two players have attempted more shots than Union Berlin’s Andrej Ilić ahead of this round (12).[/p]
[p]Mario Götze has missed Frankfurt’s last three games due to an ankle injury, while Rasmus Kristensen is out with a muscle problem. This game could come too soon for Union Berlin pair Livan Burcu and Andras Schafer.[/p]
