FC Union Berlin vs Eintracht Frankfurt Preview
FC Union Berlin enter the new Bundesliga season sitting tenth after a turbulent run that saw them lose three of their last four league outings. Their home record is a genuine concern: winless in 12 of their past 15 home contests across all competitions. Head coach Nenad Bjelica will not be on the touchline either, serving a three-match suspension carried over from last season. The Köpenick side did, however, finish pre-season unbeaten in their last three fixtures, offering a sliver of optimism.
Eintracht Frankfurt arrive at the Alte Försterei under returning coach Adi Hütter, who managed the club between 2018 and 2021. Their recent form reads poorly: winless in 22 of their last 27 matches across all competitions, with a dismal away record showing no victories in 87% of previous road trips. A humiliating 7-0 pre-season defeat to Brentford compounded the negativity. Losing Nathaniel Brown to Bayern München for a reported 55 crore INR transfer fee further weakens their squad depth heading into the campaign.
The double chance on Union Berlin or Draw represents the strongest angle here. Head-to-head data paints a compelling picture: Union have won three of the last four meetings against Frankfurt, including a dramatic 4-3 victory away and a 2-1 triumph in March 2025. Frankfurt's away record is dire, with the Eagles winless in a staggering 87% of their previous road fixtures. The home side at 2.65 offers solid standalone value within this double chance frame.
Frankfurt's vulnerabilities run deep heading into this opener. A 7-0 pre-season demolition by Brentford exposed serious defensive frailties, and the loss of Nathaniel Brown to Bayern for 55 million euros leaves a significant gap. Adi Hutter returns as coach, but inherits a squad that failed to win in 22 of their most recent 27 outings across all competitions. That five-match winless streak to close the previous campaign is not easily forgotten.
Union Berlin will be without head coach Nenad Bjelica, serving a three-match suspension, which introduces a degree of uncertainty. Still, the Alte Forsterei faithful provide a formidable backdrop. Under 2.5 goals at 2.19 also merits consideration given both teams' recent scoring difficulties, while both teams to score at 1.58 reflects the open nature of previous encounters between these sides.
