The Matchday 21 Bundesliga clash between Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt will take place on february 6 at the An der Alten Försterei stadium in Berlin. Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Union Berlin
The home side lost 1:3 away to Hoffenheim in the previous round. As a result, the team’s winless run in the league has reached five matches (3 draws, 2 defeats). However, it is worth noting that Union Berlin found the net in four games during that spell. Even so, with 25 goals scored, Union Berlin are the lowest-scoring club among the teams in the top half of the standings, where they sit ninth. At the same time, the hosts are 11 points off the European places.
- Union Berlin conceded first in their previous five Bundesliga matches.
- At home, the team have failed to win five of their last six league matches (3 draws, 2 defeats).
- At least three goals were scored in six of the previous seven home games for the hosts in this tournament.
Potential Union Berlin Lineup (3-4-3)*
Frederik Rønnow – Danilo Doekhi, Leopold Querfeld, Diogo Leite – Stanley Nsoki, Rani Khedira, Oliver Burke, Janik Haberer – Andrej Ilić, Jeong Woo-Yeong, Aljoscha Kemlein.
Midfielder Robert Skov and defender Tom Rothe are injured.
Eintracht Frankfurt
The appointment of Alberto Riera as head coach has not produced an immediate effect. In the last round, the away team lost 1:3 at home to Bayer Leverkusen, extending their winless run in the league to six matches (3 draws, 3 defeats). And although the team have scored in every game during that stretch, it is scant consolation, because opponents have now hit the club for three goals in five straight matches. On total goals conceded (45), Eintracht Frankfurt are among the two worst teams, level with Heidenheim. However, Heidenheim are bottom of the standings, while Eintracht Frankfurt sit eighth.
- A goal was scored in both halves in six of Eintracht Frankfurt’s last eight Bundesliga matches.
- Away from home, the team have failed to win six of their last seven league matches (4 draws, 2 defeats).
- In seven of the previous nine away games in this tournament, the club conceded at least twice.
Potential Eintracht Frankfurt Lineup (4-4-2)*
Kauã Santos – Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Aurèle Amenda, Arthur Theate – Mario Götze, Ritsu Dōan, Hugo Larsson, Nathaniel Brown – Arnaud Kalimuendo, Ellyes Skhiri.
Defender Elias Baum, as well as forwards Jonathan Burkardt, Younes Ebnoutalib and Michy Batshuayi, and midfielder Can 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 win for the hosts. For Union Berlin, that kind of scoring output was out of character, but Eintracht Frankfurt had already been turning their matches into goal-filled spectacles—and it has not stopped since. The average total goals in Eintracht Frankfurt games in 2026 is exactly 5. The team are in the top four for goals scored and share the dubious—especially for their level—lead for goals conceded.
Union Berlin have also started allowing a lot at the back. The team have not kept a clean sheet for five Bundesliga matches, and at home Union Berlin have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five games. In attack, the club may not be prolific, but they score fairly regularly—netting in 10 of their last 11 league matches. The defence of the upcoming opponents, as the first-round clash showed, gives room to push beyond the usual attacking limits.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
* For each team, the starting lineup shown is from their previous match in this tournament.
