Premium Tips
Andy expects a close game and leans towards the hosts making their formidable home advantage count.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Union Berlin or draw (Double Chance) and Emmanuel Latte Lath to score anytime | 13/5 | Union Berlin remain a stubborn, physical side who are unbeaten in the last five meetings with Frankfurt, winning two and drawing three, and their home fortress at An der Alten Foersterei suits an opening-day atmosphere. That form supports the double chance covering a home win or draw. Frankfurt still carry a real attacking threat despite the tricky away test, and four of the last five head-to-head meetings have seen both sides score, including a 3-4 thriller. Latte Lath getting on the scoresheet for the visitors fits that expected pattern of goals at both ends even if Union avoid defeat. |
| Robin Koch and Oscar Hojlund to be booked | 10/1 | This is billed as a genuinely close, physical contest, with Union Berlin known for making life difficult for visitors through a well-drilled and combative approach. That style tends to produce a high number of duels and mistimed challenges from both sides central defenders and midfielders as they compete for second balls and loose possession. Koch anchors Frankfurts back line against a direct home attack, while Hojlund is exposed to Frankfurts own threat on the counter, and in a match expected to be tight throughout rather than one sided, both are likely to pick up cards from repeated defensive duels. |
