Eintracht Frankfurt simply cannot afford to lose anymore points at home. They do have a decent start, but with only one win and three draws at home they really must improve their home display in order to get promotional position at the end of the season. Its obvious that Frankfurt are playing with less pressure away from home as they won with ease teams like Furth, Braunschweig and Frankfurt. They kept many good players in their squad since last season and are surely one of the best sides in this league. With two wins in a row, against Hansa 4-1 at home and the same result against Dresden, Frankfurt is waiting Union Berlin in a great mood. Hosts will be missing Schwegler who is suspended and Sebastian Rode, both playing in midfield.
Union Berlin is currently placed on eight position, but this is heavily due to their great home performances. They earned twelve points out of five games at home, while they are having totally different face away from home as they took two draws: against Frankfurt and Duisburg and suffered two heavy losses: Dresden 0:4 and Munchen 1860 1:3. Two teams that cannot be compared to Frankfurt. Guests will be without central defenders Fritsche and Madouni, while Silvio who already scored four goals this season is also sidelined.
Anything but clear win for Frankfurt would be surprise here, Union is having great position, but this is not due to their away performances.
