Prediction One: Eintracht Frankfurt Not to Lose
A new manager almost always gives a team immediate energy, at least short-term. That's exactly what I expect when Eintracht Frankfurt takes the pitch under fresh leadership. The appointment of Albert Riera adds headache for Union Berlin because predicting the lineup and tactical setup becomes much tougher. Union typically performs well against teams dominating possession since they leave exploitable space behind. Keep in mind that Eintracht previously relied heavily on counterattacks. I doubt Riera will demand an aggressive attacking approach in his first away game.
Bottom line: The visitors should come prepared to frustrate Union's rhythm. At 1.80 odds, Eintracht not losing looks like solid value.
Prediction Three: Total Goals Over 2.5
Union Berlin returned to the Bundesliga with three straight draws—2:2 against Mainz, then 1:1 at Augsburg and Stuttgart. Those respectable results faded quickly. Dortmund demolished them 3:0 at home on January 24, and Hoffenheim beat them 3:1 away to close out the month. Eintracht Frankfurt's season has been equally chaotic. They fired Dino Toppmöller mid-January after a poor run, and interim coach Dennis Schmidt didn't fare better—losing both his matches 3:1 at home.
Both squads have serious defensive problems but haven't forgotten how to score. They occupy neighboring positions in the standings, and the new coach factor should create an open contest. The 1.97 odds for over 2.5 goals reflect the likely scenario.
