One of the fixtures of the UEFA Conference League Round of 16 will be played at "Lotto Park" in Anderlecht, where the local Union will host Eintracht Frankfurt from Germany. Here's the Prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Union
Since being acquired by British businessman Tony Bloom in 2018, Union has been scripting new chapters in its history and experiencing a renaissance. Last season, immediately after returning to the top-flight division, Alexander Blessin's team earned the right to compete in the Champions League qualifiers and then performed admirably in the Europa League. Finishing third behind Liverpool and Toulouse, "Les Unionistes" advanced to the Conference League playoffs.
Heading into the match against "the Eagles," the team from Brussels comes off a home draw with Westerlo in the Jupiler League. In 25 matches, Royale Union has amassed 59 points, leading the league table by eight points over their nearest pursuers. However, Union recently suffered elimination from the Belgian Cup at the hands of Club Brugge, losing 2-1.
Eintracht
The "Eagles" finished second in their group during the Conference League group stage, facing PAOK, Aberdeen, and HJK as their opponents. However, Eintracht suffered defeats twice against PAOK and once away to Aberdeen. The team under Dino Toppmöller cannot boast stability in results even in their domestic league.
Nevertheless, their current sixth position in the Bundesliga table looks decent. An eight-point gap from the top four doesn't seem insurmountable. However, if Eintracht continues to drop points as they have in recent matches, their sixth position will be in jeopardy. Last weekend, the "Eagles" hosted Bochum and could only manage a 1-1 draw, following a 2-0 away loss to Cologne.
Interesting Facts about the Match and Head-to-Head History
- The teams have never met before in European competitions.
- Eintracht has faced Belgian teams twice in the playoffs and has been eliminated both times.
Union vs Eintracht Prediction
Union is considered a slight favorite for the first leg, although not necessarily for the tie overall. We believe Union may win their home match, but it's wise to play with some insurance. Our bet is "Union to win with a 0 handicap," with odds of 1.61.
