This match has been played 21 times in all competitions, and Eintracht Frankfurt maintained the all-time lead after winning ten of those matches. Although Unión Berlin has only achieved victory five times, the latest matches have favored the Berlin team. Union are unbeaten in their last four games against Frankfurt and earlier this season they achieved a spectacular 4-3 away victory in a thrilling match.

Union Berlin comes into this match in the midst of a bad streak in the league. They are winless in their last five Bundesliga games, drawing the first three before suffering defeats to Borussia Dortmund and Hoffenheim.
A return to form is badly needed, especially at home where they haven’t tasted victory since mid-December against RB Leipzig. That result remains one of Union’s three home league wins all season.

Eintracht Frankfurt is going through an equally difficult campaign. They have already eliminated from both the Champions League and the DFB-Pokal and are winless in their last six Bundesliga games, taking just three points out of a possible 18.
Defensive weaknesses have been a major concern, with Frankfurt having conceded the most goals in the division along with bottom-placed Heidenheim. They will be desperate not only to end their winless streak but also to get their first away clean sheet of the season.
