Union and Frankfurt will meet for the fourth time on Sunday (3:30 p.m. / Sky) in the Bundesliga in the An der Alten Försterei stadium.
The balance of the previous three comparisons is balanced. There was a home and away win and a draw.
The balance of both clubs is also balanced this week. Eintracht Frankfurt lost 3-0 at SSC Napoli in the Champions League. For Union, the season in the Europa League also ended with a 0-3 defeat at the Belgian first division side Royale Union Saint Gilloise.
The record for header hits is also almost balanced. Union celebrated 12 times after a Union player’s head pushed the ball over the opponent’s goal line. Frankfurt, on the other hand, have already conceded eleven header goals.
Union have been unbeaten at home for more than a season but have been without a win for four league games. Frankfurt arrives with a positive away record. The team of Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner has already managed four wins with three defeats and five draws abroad. The Hessen have not been able to win in the last three league games.
Christopher Lenz is returning to the Alte Försterei for the second time after moving to Hesse. The 28-year-old has played twice against his old club so far, but both times have always been limited. On April 17, 2022, the defender came on after 67 minutes, after 71 minutes in the first leg last fall.
