Frankfurt Flying High After European Success
Eintracht Frankfurt return to Bundesliga action riding a wave of confidence after their impressive 2-1 victory against Ajax in the Europa League. The Eagles have been solid performers at Deutsche Bank Park this season, winning three of their last five home matches. Dino Toppmoller's men have shown they can take down big opposition too. Remember that 2-0 victory against Dortmund back in January? Classic stuff! With a 40% win rate in their last ten matches overall, Frankfurt have found reasonable consistency despite a challenging schedule.The home crowd will be buzzing after that European night. Can they carry that momentum into this league fixture? Frankfurt's attack has been decent lately, netting 14 goals in their last ten matches, though they've also conceded 16 in that span.

Union Berlin's Road Troubles Continue
Things aren't looking too rosy for Union Berlin these days. The visitors are struggling big time, with just two wins in their last ten matches. That's a measly 20% win rate. Yikes!Their away form? Even worse. Union have lost three of their last four road games, conceding a whopping 11 goals while scoring just 4. Steffen Baumgart has his work cut out trying to fix this leaky defense.To add to their woes, Union are coming off a disappointing 0-1 home defeat to Kiel. Not exactly the momentum you want heading into a tough away fixture. Their lone bright spot recently was that surprise 4-0 thrashing of Hoffenheim on the road in February - proving they can occasionally pull off the unexpected.
Battle of Expectations: Who'll Handle the Pressure?
Interesting stat alert! Frankfurt have started as favorites in 40% of their recent matches but only delivered the goods half the time. Union Berlin? They've been favorites more often (60% of matches) but have a dismal conversion rate, winning just one of those six games.This mental aspect can't be overlooked. Frankfurt enter as clear favorites with the bookies giving them a 54.3% chance of victory compared to Union's 22%. Does that added pressure help or hinder the home side?Deutsche Bank Park will be rocking. The home fans expect a win against a struggling opponent. But we've all seen how unpredictable the Bundesliga can be, haven't we? A 23.8% chance of a draw suggests this might not be the straightforward affair many expect.

Key Matchups to Watch
Frankfurt's attack will fancy their chances against a Union defense that's shipped 19 goals in their last ten outings. That's nearly two goals per game! The home advantage could be crucial here. Frankfurt have scored 9 and conceded just 6 in their last five home games - a positive ratio that contrasts sharply with Union's road record.But don't count Union completely out. Their emphatic win at Hoffenheim shows they have the potential to surprise on the road. Was that a one-off or a sign they might be turning a corner away from home?Toppmoller vs Baumgart is an intriguing tactical battle too. Both managers have had their ups and downs this season. Which one will find the right formula when they meet at Deutsche Bank Park?
