Stadium: Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt am Main)
09.03.2025 17:30
Eintracht Frankfurt will welcome Union Berlin to Deutsche Bank Park in what promises to be a tactical battle between two sides vying for crucial points in the Bundesliga. With Frankfurt enjoying a relatively stable home record and Union struggling to find consistency on the road, the matchup sets up an intriguing clash of styles. Historically, Frankfurt has held the edge in this fixture, with three wins in the last six meetings across all competitions, while Union has managed just one victory in that span.
Statistically, Frankfurt has been more effective in front of goal, netting 50 goals in 24 Bundesliga appearances this season—an average of 2.08 per game. Their attacking efficiency is further highlighted by their 15 shots per game, showcasing their willingness to test opposition defences. Meanwhile, Union Berlin has struggled to find the net, scoring only 20 goals in the league, averaging less than one per match. With Union conceding an average of 2.3 goals per away game, Frankfurt’s attack will likely exploit these defensive vulnerabilities.
Discipline and ball control will be key factors in this encounter. Frankfurt maintains an average possession of 49.2% in the league, while Union lags behind with 43.5%. Additionally, Union has been more aggressive defensively, accumulating 60 disciplinary actions compared to Frankfurt’s 38. This suggests Union may have trouble maintaining composure under sustained pressure from Frankfurt’s dynamic attacking lineup.

Frankfurt’s home form has been solid, with two wins and two losses in their last four league matches at Deutsche Bank Park. Their goal-scoring prowess is evident, averaging 1.5 goals per home game. However, their defensive frailties have seen them concede 2.5 goals per home match, highlighting the need for a more disciplined backline.
Their top players have contributed significantly to their attacking output. Their ability to produce 15 shots per game makes them one of the most aggressive attacking units in the league. Additionally, their passing accuracy sits at 52.8%, demonstrating their ability to maintain possession and create sustained pressure.
Despite a recent 4-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, Frankfurt’s response with a 3-1 victory against Holstein Kiel suggests they remain a threat. Their Europa League exploits, particularly their victory over Ajax, further indicate their capability to handle high-pressure games. Expect Frankfurt to dictate play and test Union’s defensive resilience early on.
Union Berlin
Union Berlin has endured a difficult campaign, particularly on the road, where they have lost three of their last four away fixtures. Their defensive record makes for grim reading, conceding 2.3 goals per away match. The 6-0 humiliation at the hands of Borussia Dortmund exposed the fragility of their defensive setup.
Offensively, Union has been underwhelming, scoring just 20 goals in 24 Bundesliga matches. With an average of 13 shots per game, their conversion rate remains a major issue. While they have proven capable of securing clean sheets against mid-table teams, their lack of attacking spark has prevented them from turning draws into victories.
Discipline will be a concern for Union as well, with 60 disciplinary actions recorded. Given Frankfurt’s aggressive attacking style, Union may struggle to contain their opponents without resorting to tactical fouls. If they are to secure a positive result, they must improve their defensive organization and take advantage of set-piece opportunities.

Expert Betting Tips
Based on current form and statistical trends, Eintracht Frankfurt enters this fixture as favourites. Their superior attacking efficiency, home advantage, and recent European confidence tilt the scales in their favour. Meanwhile, Union Berlin’s defensive instability and goal-scoring struggles make them unlikely to pull off an upset.
Expect Frankfurt to control proceedings and exploit Union’s defensive weaknesses early. If Union can withstand the initial pressure and capitalize on Frankfurt’s occasional defensive lapses, they may make the contest more competitive. However, the hosts remain clear favourites to secure three points.
