Eintracht Frankfurt host Union Berlin as they look to keep their place in the Bundesliga top four.

Frankfurt have experienced a slight dip in form recently. That has allowed Borussia Dortmund to close the gap to two points in the race for next season's Champions League spots.

Since beating Bayern Munich 2-1 a few weeks ago, Frankfurt have not won any of their Bundesliga games. They lost to Werder Bremen before managing 1-1 draws against Stuttgart and RB Leipzig.

Emil Forsberg gave Leipzig the lead against Frankfurt last week, but Daichi Kamada scored 15 minutes after that to give Adi Hutter's side a share of the spoils.

Union have a chance to move to within three points of Frankfurt if they win this game. They are currently in seventh place, knocking on the door for European qualification for next season.

Last weekend, Union beat Koln 2-1 at home. They went behind just before half-time thanks to an Ondrej Duda penalty. However, Max Kruse and Christopher Trimmel scored in the second half to give them the three points.

Union are currently seventh in the Bundesliga, with 38 points from 25 games.
