Match preview
Union Berlin host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Stadion An der Alten Försterei for the opening round of the Bundesliga season. Both teams arrive following high-scoring pre-season schedules and cup fixtures, looking to establish early momentum in the league campaign.
Union Berlin enter this contest with a strong recent head-to-head record against Frankfurt, having avoided defeat in their last five competitive meetings (two wins, three draws). However, the hosts must manage notable absences across their squad, including goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow and defender Stanley Nsoki.
Eintracht Frankfurt travel to Berlin with their own set of selection challenges, as Hugo Larsson, Ritsu Doan, and Jonathan Burkardt are among those listed as unavailable. With both sides testing their defensive cohesion early in the campaign, a closely fought battle is expected.
