Eintracht can edge close battle
Eintracht Frankfurt arrive as the slight favourites against 1. FC Union Berlin at 2.68 for Saturday's clash at Alte Foersterei, Germany, but the hosts are close behind at 2.42 and the draw at 3.5 looks rather generous too. This is a fixture, and while Eintracht Frankfurt are in the better form, we're going to support the draw in the Full-Time Result market.
Mauro Lustrinelli has made Union a little more vertical and higher intensity since taking charge on 1 July 2026. Die Eisernen have played with more compact midfield shapes and have been quicker into their transitions, but their results have been patchy. Union have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five and they welcome a Frankfurt side that have won four and lost one of their last five.
The Adlerträger are a solid 4-2-2-2 side with a high press and they thrive on rapid vertical attacks through the half-spaces. This match-up has the makings of an end-to-end match, but with Frankfurt's superior form, we're taking them to come out on top.
Stick with the goal markets
Union have scored six goals across their last five and striker Ilyas Ansah, who has scored two of those, is their biggest threat. Frankfurt have scored ten goals across their last five matches, but their key player is Jonathan Burkardt with four of their ten strikes.
The two clubs' last clash in this fixture finished 1-1 at Union's home in the Bundesliga 2025/2026, but Union have now gone two home games without a win against Frankfurt after winning two of the last three meetings. So we're sticking with the form, as well as the head-to-head record, by going with the favourites in this market, but Union's improved tempo could upset them.
Eintracht have been good on the road, winning four and losing two of their away matches. But they've shipped 12 goals on their travels at an average of 2.00 per-game, so there is a good chance of a goal fest on Saturday. Over 2.5 is the play at 1.65 and Both Teams to Score - Yes is another good option at 1.53.
Adolf’s Adlerträger are on a roll
Frankfurt's results are a little skewed by their two most recent matches, a 7-0 defeat at Brentford followed by a 11/20 win over SC St Tonis in the DFB Pokal, but they have settled down since then. Union have a good record in this match-up, but it could easily have gone the other way in either of the previous three meetings so we're supporting the visitors. Union have been in good scoring form with 2.75 goals per-game at home, but Frankfurt have conceded goals and can be got at with a well-executed press. If they can get players in behind the midfield then their quick counters could trouble Frankfurt.
