As the DFB-Pokal returns back in action, as Eintracht Frankfurt lock horns with Union Berlin in a Quarterfinals round of matches. This will be a high intensity scoring match between these two. With both teams having exited the European competitions before the International break, it seems that their only chance of winning a silverware this season is via this DFB-Pokal tournament. I will be backing Union Berlin to either get a win or a draw for the following reasons:

Firstly. Eintracht Frankfurt have done anything but fly of late as they have failed to win in their last seven games in all competitions. They failed to beat lowly placed Bochum over the weekend, as they played a 1-1 draw with them. Let us note that they have already lost twice to Union Berlin this season. They started the season so well, but they have since derailed since the turn of year. Union Berlin emerged as 2-0 winners when the sides met last month. So, Union already have a psychological advantage over them. I expect Eintracht Frankfurt to be on the back foot as they play Union Berlin again tonight.

Secondly. With Union Berlin enjoying their best ever Bundesliga campaign, they have got their eyes on finishing in the top four in the league, and they might even win it considering that they are just four points off of the league leaders. Their form this season has been nothing but impressive as they have not yet lost a game at home. They have won five and drawn two of their last eight matches in the DFB-Pokal. Their impressive form has been built on the solidity of their defence. They have conceded the least goals in the league this season with 28 goals conceded. And this their defence will most likely be the difference maker tonight.

Though Union Berlin are in a very good form recently, Eintracht Frankfurt have shown to be a tough opponent while playing at home. This is why I expect Union Berlin to get a win or a draw against them.

德国杯继续进行，法兰克福足球俱乐部在四分之一决赛中与柏林联合队交锋。这将是两人之间的高强度得分比赛。由于两支球队都在国际比赛日之前退出了欧洲比赛，看来他们本赛季赢得奖杯的唯一机会就是德国杯。出于以下原因，我将支持柏林联合会获胜或平局：

首先。 法兰克福最近在所有比赛中都未能在最近七场比赛中取得胜利，所以除了飞翔之外什么都做不了。他们在周末未能击败排名靠后的波鸿，因为他们与他们进行了 1-1 平局。让我们注意到，他们本赛季已经两次输给柏林联合。他们本赛季开局很好，但从年初开始就出轨了。上个月双方相遇时，柏林联合队以 2-0 获胜。所以，柏林联合对他们已经有了心理优势。我预计法兰克福今晚将再次与柏林联合队比赛，他们将处于不利地位。

第二。随着柏林联合队享受他们有史以来最好的德甲联赛，他们的目标是进入联赛前四，考虑到他们只落后联赛领头羊 4 分，他们甚至有可能赢得联赛。他们本赛季的表现令人印象深刻，因为他们还没有在主场输过一场比赛。他们在德国杯的最后八场比赛中赢了五场，平了两场。他们令人印象深刻的形式建立在他们防守的稳固性之上。他们本赛季在联赛中失球最少，失球数为 28 个。而他们的防守很可能会成为今晚的不同之处。

尽管柏林联合最近状态不错，但法兰克福在主场作战时表现出强硬的对手。这就是为什么我预计柏林联合不败。
