Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt open Bundesliga campaigns at Alte Foersterei
Union Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt begin their respective Bundesliga campaigns this Saturday at the Alte Foersterei. Both sides enter the match following successful outings in the DFB Pokal, looking to carry that momentum into the opening matchday of the new season.
Union Berlin arrive at this fixture having navigated a busy pre-season schedule that culminated in a competitive 4-2 victory over Eintracht Braunschweig in the DFB Pokal on 23 August. While their summer friendlies saw mixed results, the team displayed significant attacking intent, notably putting sixteen goals past Gruen-Weiss Luebben early in July. The challenge now is to translate that offensive rhythm into the intensity of the Bundesliga against a familiar opponent.
Eintracht Frankfurt have shown a clinical edge throughout their recent preparations, most recently securing an 11-0 win against SC St. Toenis in the DFB Pokal on 21 August. Their summer has been defined by high-scoring performances, including a 5-1 victory over FSV Frankfurt and a 7-0 win against RW Frankfurt. With a defensive unit that has kept clean sheets in five of their last nine outings, they appear well-drilled as they head to the capital.
For the hosts, Matheo Raab is expected to start in goal behind a defensive line featuring Josip Juranovic and Leopold Querfeld. In midfield, Rani Khedira and Andras Schafer are expected to anchor the center, supporting an attacking duo of Ilyas Ansah and Emmanuel Latte Lath.
Eintracht Frankfurt are expected to field Kaua in goal, protected by a back four of Keita Kosugi, Otavio Fernandes, Robin Koch, and Elias Baum. The midfield will likely feature Mario Goetze and Raphael Onyedika, while the attack is expected to include Can Uzun and Younes Ebnoutalib. Notably, Eintracht Frankfurt will be without the services of Ritsu Doan due to injury.
Matches between these two clubs have been tight affairs in recent seasons. In their last Bundesliga meeting on 6 February 2026, the sides played out a 1-1 draw. Earlier that season, Union Berlin edged a high-scoring 4-3 victory away from home in September 2025, highlighting the potential for drama whenever these two teams meet.
As the season kicks off, the focus will be on which side can best manage the transition from cup football to the demands of the league. Eintracht Frankfurt have demonstrated a tendency to remain potent late into matches, with a significant portion of their recent goals arriving after the 75th minute. Union Berlin will need to maintain their concentration for the full duration to ensure they secure a positive result in front of their home crowd.
