Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction: Both teams heading down rapidly

Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt will want to forget the latest disappointment they suffered in the European competition. Berlin lost 3-0 to Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the return leg after a 1-1 draw in the first leg. Frankfurt were beaten by Napoli in both legs; 2-0 and 3-0. Now they can turn their attention to this match and returning to winning ways is crucial for both sides.

Union Berlin (LDDDL)

Union Berlin crashing out of the UEFA Europa League did not come as much of a surprise because they have been in terrible form in the league and it showed in that match. In the 3-0 defeat to Royale Union, Janik Haberer was sent off in the 80th minute after picking up a second yellow card in the match, but before then, the hosts were already 2-0 up and looking comfortable. Union Berlin managed only 45% possession, 1 shot on target and 3 corner kicks.

In their last 5 matches, Union Berlin had 3 draws and 2 losses.

Union Berlin are 4th in the Bundesliga table, with 45 points from 24 matches. They had 13 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses.

Team Streaks: - No wins (5), without a clean sheet (3), less than 10.5 corners (9/10).

Eintracht Frankfurt (LDDLL)

There was not much expectation on Eintracht Frankfurt making it to the next round of the UEFA Champions League against Napoli, because Napoli are in their best form this season. But losing on both legs shows how poor Eintracht are at the moment. They lost 2-0 at home and then 3-0 in Italy. In their last 5 matches, Eintracht Frankfurt recorded 3 loses and 2 draws.

As expected Napoli dominated proceedings, as Frankfurt had just 40% possession, 1 shot on target and 3 corner kicks.

Frankfurt are currently in 6th on the Bundesliga table, with 40 points from 24 matches. They recorded 11 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses.

Expert Betting Tips

Personally I don't see these two teams playing anything exciting in this match. They are both struggling and I feel they will both struggle to maintain their spots on the table unless they can fix their form quickly. For this match, I wouldn't bank on either team for any surprises. It is any team’s game to win.
