It could be a very entertaining high scoring match when in-form Union Berlin host Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday.
Max Kruse scored the winner against Koln last weekend as Union stretched their club-record unbeaten run to seven matches. The former Germany international saw his initial penalty kick saved, but reacted fastest to the rebound to stick away from his fourth goal in eight Bundesliga appearances for the capital club. Kruse missed a penalty for the first time in his career last weekend, having previously converted 16 in a row. He has only found the net once in 16 games against Frankfurt.
He's also produced five assists in that time, which goes some way to explaining why Union is sitting pretty in fifth place at the early stage of their second top-flight season. The hosts have taken nine points from their last three games, scoring 10 and conceding just two. Bayer Leverkusen is the only side with a better current record (five straight wins).
Liverpool-owned Taiwo Awoniyi opened the scoring in Koln with his second Bundesliga goal, and first since switching to Union. The 23-year-old is expected to continue as the focal point in attack, with Sheraldo Becker and Marcus Ingvartsen flanking Kruse. Grischa Prömel, who replaced injured midfielder Sebastian Griesbeck in the first half of the Koln win, could start in an otherwise unchanged XI.
Union: Luthe - Trimmel (c), Friedrich, Knoche, Lenz - Prömel, Andrich - Becker, Kruse, Ingvartsen - Awoniyi
Out: Endo (thigh), Gentner (muscular), Pohjanpalo (ankle), Schlotterbeck (thigh), Ujah (knee)
Doubtful: Griesbeck (ankle), Hübner (groin)
Coach: Urs Fischer
Frankfurt begins the weekend in 11th place, only four points adrift of surprise package Union. Winless in five, they are unbeaten in their last three following a run of three straight draws. Frankfurt has drawn four of their last five. Aymen Barkok has been directly involved in each of Frankfurt's last three goals, scoring at home to Leipzig on Matchday 8 and providing two assists against VfB Stuttgart the previous weekend, but will play no part here. Bas Dost is set to be recalled to partner five-goal top scorer Silva, who is finding the back of the net at a clip of one goal every 135 minutes so far this season. Dost scored and assisted two apiece across Frankfurt's first three games of the season, but hasn't managed either since the Matchday 3 win over Hoffenheim. Only Bayern Munich striker Robert Lewandowski has had more shots on goal (33) this season than Silva (32), who hasn't scored in 118 minutes.
Napoli loanee Amin Younes is available once again, but influential winger Filip Kostic came through his first start in almost two months unscathed and will almost certainly continue on the left flank as Frankfurt chase a first league win since Matchday 3 and a maiden clean sheet of the campaign.
Frankfurt: Trapp - Abraham (c), Hinteregger, N'Dicka - Durm, Ilsanker, Rode, Kostic - Kamada - Dost, Silva
Out: Ache (hamstring), Barkok (not included),
Doubtful: -
Coach: Adi Hütter

Union is in great form from the start of the season and confidence is very high, but on the other side, Frankfurt is playing better football than the results suggest. Both teams to score is a reasonable bet regarding the offensive power of these sides.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
