The 21st-round Bundesliga match between Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt will take place on 6 february at An der Alten Försterei stadium in Berlin. Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Union Berlin
Union Berlin lost away to Hoffenheim 1:3 in the last round. As a result, the team's winless run in the league reached 5 matches (3 draws, 2 defeats). However, it should be noted that the team scored in 4 of those matches. Nevertheless, with 25 goals scored Union Berlin is the least prolific club among the teams in the top half of the table, where it sits in ninth place. The hosts are 11 points adrift of the European qualification zone.
- Union Berlin conceded first in each of their previous five Bundesliga matches.
- At home the team has failed to win in 5 of its last 6 league matches (3 draws, 2 defeats).
- At least three goals were scored in 6 of Union Berlin's last 7 home games in this competition.
Potential Union Berlin Lineup (3-4-3)*
Frederik Rønnow – Danilo Duki, Leopold Querfeld, Diogo Leite – Stanley N'Soki, Rani Khedira, Oliver Burke, Janik Haberer – Andrija Ilic, Jeong Woo-yeong, Alesja Kemljain.
Midfielder Robert Skov and defender Tom Rothe are injured.
Eintracht Frankfurt
The arrival of Alberto Riera as head coach did not produce an immediate effect. In the last round Eintracht Frankfurt lost at home to Bayer Leverkusen 1:3, extending their winless run in the league to 6 matches (3 draws, 3 defeats). And although the team scored in every match during that run, that offers little consolation, since opponents have now hit the net three times against the club in five consecutive games. With 45 goals conceded in total Eintracht Frankfurt is among the two worst defensive records alongside Heidenheim. However, the latter sit at the bottom of the table, while Eintracht occupy eighth place.
- There were goals in both halves in 6 of Eintracht Frankfurt's last 8 Bundesliga matches.
- Away the team has failed to win in 6 of its last 7 league matches (4 draws, 2 defeats).
- In 7 of the previous 9 away games in this competition the club conceded at least twice.
Potential Eintracht Frankfurt Lineup (4-4-2)*
Kauan Santos – Rasmus Christensen, Robin Koch, Aurel Amenda, Arthur Theate – Mario Götze, Ritsu Doan, Hugo Larsson, Nathaniel Brown – Arno Kalimuendo, Ellyes Skhiri.
Defender Elias Baum, as well as forwards Jonathan Burkardt, Younes Ebnoutalib and Michy Batshuayi, and midfielder Gian Uzun are unavailable due to injury. Forward Ellyes Skhiri is suspended.
Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Match Prediction
The first-round meeting between these opponents took place at the start of the season and ended in a 4:3 victory for Union Berlin. For Union Berlin that level of scoring was out of character, while Eintracht Frankfurt had already been turning their matches into goal-filled affairs that have continued since. The average goals per game in Eintracht Frankfurt's matches in 2026 stands at exactly 5. The team ranks among the top four for goals scored and shares a dubious lead in goals conceded for a club at its level.
Union Berlin have also begun to allow a lot at the back. The side has failed to keep a clean sheet for 5 Bundesliga matches, and at home the hosts have conceded at least two goals in 4 of their last 5 matches. In attack the club is not highly prolific but scores with some regularity: in 10 of their last 11 league matches. The opponent's defense, as shown by their first-round meeting, gives an opportunity to move beyond usual attacking limits.
Our prediction: Over 2.5 goals.
