[Sheraldo Becker](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/player/sheraldo-becker) thought that he had doubled his team's advantage with just over 20 minutes to play, and ended his personal goal drought, but his effort was pulled back for an offside as Becker was freed on goal.

Union Berlin vs. Eintracht Frankfurt Bundesliga Odds, Picks ... (Lineups)

There's an insane top-four race going on in Germany right now; the third through fifth place teams are all tied on 45 points. Union Berlin are in that group ...

Berlin are a good side overall, but not the most prolific attack; this could be a great chance to get back on track in an important match. Beyond those two strikers, it’s quite the mixed bag; central midfielder Janik Haberer is actually second on the team in league goals, so that really tells you a good deal about the state of the attacking corps. Forced to take one of the three ends, I’ll tentatively stick with the home side to win, but would consider a double-chance in the other direction, as it’ll probably be good value. The Cinderella story is coming to a close for one of the most likable sides in recent history. Rounding out the core of a really nice defensive group is goalkeeper Frederik Rønnow. At home Berlin are narrowly favored with +135 odds, as compared to +210 for Frankfurt and +205 for the draw.
