The second defense of the league in terms of goals conceded (4) and the reliability of the goalkeeper put Union back in the fight for high places. The team is without the ball and defending most of the matches, but they are almost unrivaled in counterattacks. Bo Svensson has put as much vertical soccer as possible, and it works, but it requires a lot of physical effort.
Eintracht are second from the bottom in terms of dangerous attacks. But they squeeze the most out of them. Dino Topmeller was in search of a game model for a long time and settled on counterattacking. Only Bayer in the last round managed to some extent to contain the sprawling diagonals and sprints of Eintracht’s strikers.
In five of the last six meetings between these teams scored less than three goals. In addition, in those games, only one of the teams has scored. Both like to play in free spaces, in counterattacks. In positional soccer teams will not be able to fully reveal their best qualities, so there will not be a lot of goals scored.
