For the round of 8 of the German Cup, Eintracht Frankfurt welcomes Union Berlin to Deutsche Bank Park. A single match, in case of a draw, extra time will follow and if necessary, the procedure of penalties.
In the previous round, Eintracht eliminated the leader of the second division Darmstadt, winning at home with 4-2. It was the team that opened the scoring in the 6th minute, in the 31st minute they found themselves behind with 2-1, but being better initially they equalized in the 44th minute and with two more goals in the replay, they shaped the final result.
On Saturday for the championship they faced Bochum and had another loss of points at home, staying in a 1-1 draw. He fell behind in the score in the 14th minute, equalized in the 22nd minute, but then despite dominating and missing chances, he had no substance for the second goal and was limited to one point.
This was the 7th match for Eintracht without a hat-trick as a result has retreated to 6rd place, and the last one that definitely gives a European ticket, with 41 points and minus 6 from the top four.
Even though it was difficult, Union prevailed at home in the previous round of Stuttgart with 2-1 and qualified for the quarterfinals of the event. He was behind in the score from the first five minutes, equalized almost immediately and in the replay he found a second goal in the 79th minute that decided the winner of the match.
At the same time, it continues its impressive course in the championship, after 26 matches is in 3th place with 51 points, minus 2 from 2nd Dortmund and minus 4 from 1st Bayern, and claims a place in the groups of the next Champions League. In its last match in time, it prevailed in Berlin, Stuttgart with 3-0.
A very interesting matchup between two quality teams that also star in the league. Eintracht are running a series of negative results and are looking for a victory of substance and psychology today. Union, for its part, looks in this period in better condition and goes into the match with the best possible psychology. Both score easily and I think we will see something similar in today's duel.
