ℹ️ Team News: Union Berlin

We are thinking that Union should kick off with a 3-5-2 system in the match, utilising Frederik Roennow, Danilho Doekhi, Robin Knoche, Diogo Leite, Christopher Trimmel, Aissa Laidouni, Rani Khedira, Janik Haberer, Niko Giesselmann, Sheraldo Becker and Jordan Pefok.

🗞️ Team News: Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner has to choose a team with limited availability. Jesper Lindström (Ankle Injury), Junior Dina Ebimbe (Syndesmotic ligament tear) and Nacho Ferri (Unknown Injury) are those who can’t be considered. Sebastian Rode will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We reckon that Eintracht will likely begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 formation, starting the game with Kevin Trapp, Tuta, Makoto Hasebe, Evan N'Dicka, Aurelio Buta, Philipp Max, Kristijan Jakic, Djibril Sow, Daichi Kamada, Mario Goetze and Randal Kolo Muani.

✨ Prediction

We envisage that Eintracht Frankfurt will likely create enough chances to put one past this Union Berlin outfit, although that possibly won’t quite be enough to prevent defeat.

We’re tipping a narrow 2-1 victory for Union Berlin by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. Let’s see what eventuates.
