Two sides that are struggling for form square-off in Berlin this weekend as Union Berlin takes on Eintracht Frankfurt.
Eintracht make the trip to Germany's capital still winless in 2026 after a disappointing home defeat against Bayer Leverkusen last weekend. Likewise, Union return to home comforts after a road loss at Hoffenheim.
Past encounters have been evenly balanced and with both teams out-of-sorts, another hard-fought battle seems likely on Friday evening.

Union Berlin team overview
Union Berlin come into Friday's Bundesliga fixture looking to avoid a third successive defeat. Steffen Baumgart's side slipped to a 3:0 home reversal against Dortmund before a 3:1 setback at Hoffenheim last weekend.
Die Eisernen have struggled to find much winning form this season, or in 2026. Union failed to win their last five games, while they have claimed just two victories in ten previous fixtures since the start of December.
Defensive fragilities have been a recurring theme for Baumgart's side. The Berlin-based side conceded at least one goal in ten of their last 11 matches. Nine of those games also finished with both teams on the scoresheet.
Both teams have shaky defences, and that could lead to a high-scoring outcome on Friday. Union have seen over 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last 11 matches.
Head coach Baumgart has four players missing for Friday's Bundesliga contest. Josip Juranović, Diogo Leite and Robert Skov are ruled out, while Tom Rothe is also expected to miss out.

Eintracht Frankfurt team overview
Eintracht Frankfurt return to league action after another poor display, having slumped to a 3–1 home defeat against Bayer Leverkusen, with Ellyes Skhiri’s second-half dismissal compounding the Eagles’ misery after they trailed by two goals at the break.
A disastrous run of form sees the visitors now winless in all but one of their last 13 matches. Frankfurt lost their four most recent games, while they leaked 20 goals in their seven previous encounters.
Despite their dismal recent performances, Eintracht remain a reliable choice for goal chasers. Only one of their last eight matches did not finish with BTTS.
Head coach Albert Riera has a long list of expected absentees this weekend. Can Uzun, Nnamdi Collins, Michy Batshuayi and Younes Ebnoutalib are ruled out, Ellyes Skhiri is suspended, while Jonathan Burkardt is doubtful and Elias Baum is unavailable.

Prediction
Both teams have been defensively vulnerable this season, while remaining a threat in the attacking positions.
With that in mind, BTTS looks like the best value pick on Friday.
Three Reasons Why We Expect BTTS
- Union Berlin have seen BTTS in 9 of their last 11 matches
- Eintracht Frankfurt have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 8 matches
- Eintracht Frankfurt have seen BTTS in their last 3 matches against Union Berlin
