Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-10-26 16:30.
[p]Manager Bo Svensson has brought the winning habit back to Union Berlin. The club only avoided relegation by the skin of their teeth last season, but their form has improved dramatically since the Dane’s arrival in the summer, with a 2-0 victory over Holstein Kiel last weekend ensuring they have won back-to-back Bundesliga matches for the first time since February. [/p]
[p]The Irons Ones have now moved on to 14 points from just seven games, already eight more than they had accumulated at the same stage in 2023/24. With no continental football serving as an additional distraction this season, Union fans would be forgiven for dreaming of a return to Europe, and they have every reason to be confident going into this clash, given their side have won four home league matches in a row, three of them by a 2-1 scoreline.[/p]
[p]Opponents Eintracht Frankfurt will have a thing or two to say about that though, especially as the visitors have lost just three of the 18 H2Hs this century (W10, D5). Fans will be hoping their side can show that kind of form again here, given a 2-1 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in their most recent league game means they have slipped behind Union in the table. [/p]
[p]Dino Toppmöller’s side did bounce back with a hard-fought 1-0 success against Rigas FS in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, which means they have won six of their last nine outings (D2, L1). That game also saw the Eagles keep a rare clean sheet, only their second in 11 matches across all competitions this season, with a worrying 11 of the 16 goals they have conceded coming after half-time.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Union defender Kevin Vogt might be having nightmares about facing Frankfurt, whom he has beaten in just one of his last 12 H2Hs (D3, L8). Frankfurt’s Hugo Larsson will be attempting to add to that miserable record, and he extended his unbeaten run in club games in which he has scored after netting the winner against Rigas (W7, D1).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Union are the only team in the Bundesliga yet to concede a first-half goal this season.[/p]
