Eintracht Frankfurt will be at home to take on Union Berlin in their next Bundesliga game, scheduled for Saturday. The hosts occupy the Conference League spot going into this game while Union Berlin are just nine points above the relegation zone. At 40 points after 26 games, Eintracht Frankfurt are five points ahead of their closest challengers for Europe. However, their wish for a higher European competition could fall short, being nine points below the Europa League slot. Unlike most Bundesliga sides, Eintracht Frankfurt did not engage in a friendly match during the international break. They will hope to take lessons from their 3-1 defeat to Borussia Dortmund last time out. Mario Gotze opened the scoring early in that defeat but it all went awry afterwards. That marked their second defeat in five matches, while they have just two wins in nine. Eintracht Frankfurt have been stronger at home though. They come into this game unbeaten in six league games at home, winning four. In eight home league matches, however, they have just one clean sheet in that run.

Union Berlin had a warm up game during the international break, beating Magdeburg 3-1. They will be keen to carry this to their Bundesliga game. Coming into the game, they have 28 points, placing them three places outside the relegation zone. They have a nine-point buffer from the relegation playoff position, which they’ll want to extend. In their last outing before the international break, Union Berlin claimed a 2-1 win over Werder Bremen. That marked a return to winning ways, after a three-game winless run. While they look to build on it coming here, Union Berlin will be worried about their away form in Bundesliga. They have just a win in their last 12 away league matches. In that run, they suffered nine losses, and head-to-head, they’ve lost five of the last seven meetings with Eintracht Frankfurt. That includes a 3-0 defeat away to Eintracht Frankfurt in the reverse fixture.
