Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Out-of-sorts Union Berlin will be aiming to put an end to their seven-game losing run in the Bundesliga when they take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday afternoon. The capital club do not seem to be at their sharpest and, as a result, the odds for away win have been dropping. Rani Khedira is banned for the match, while all Josip Juranovic, Danilho Doekhi, and Andras Schafer should miss out through injuries. Midfielder Janik Haberer should recover in time to face die Adler.
Frankfurt, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Borussia Dortmund at the weekend to retain seventh place in the standings. Eintracht are more of a team than the struggling Union Berlin and, taking everything into account, we predict that the visitors will showcase their worth on the field. All Willian Pacho, Sebastian Rode, Simon Simoni, and Mehdi Loune are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
