No way through!
A Union corner causes panic in the Frankfurt defence. It's flicked on to Khedira, who's blocked at point-blank range by Trapp.

Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time
Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).
72'
Dancing feet
Marmoush dances through the Union defence, but his eventual shot is blocked. Union are hanging on...

Off the line!
Dina Ebimbe collects a pass at the far post. He goes for power, but Rönnow gets a touch and a defender is able to swipe it clear in front of the goal-line.
65'
Triple change
Fresh legs and new ideas for the visitors, who have been second best since the restart.

Scramble!
Union somehow survive another pair of low crosses into the area, with Eintracht players lining up to apply the finish. Can Frankfurt capitalise on this spell of pressure?
60'
A whisker away!
Marmoush sends in a teasing ball from the right-hand side, but Tuta can't turn it home on the stretch. All it needed was a touch!
58'
Marmoush!
Frankfurt's top scorer combines with Ekitiké, before unleashing a rising strike that forces Rönnow to parry at his near post. Lovely build-up!
53'
Play resumes
Trapp's OK to continue after that blow to the jaw area.
50'
Stoppage
Trapp's down receiving treatment after an aerial collision with Union's Kaufmann.
48'
Chance!
Skhiri's under-cooked back-pass inadvertently plays Mikkel Kaufmann in on Trapp's goal, but he can't keep his shot down!
46'
One change
Philipp Max is on at left-back for Frankfurt, replacing Niels Nkounkou, who was on a booking.
Kick-off!

xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Frankfurt pushing
Tuta in a very advanced position for Frankfurt, but his attempted cut-back is put behind for a corner that's cleared.
27'
Right idea!
Vertessen feeds the run of the lively Aaronson, who pops up between to Frankfurt defenders on the edge of the box before lifting an effort comfortably clear of Trapp's bar.
23'
Vertessen!
Now Union attack with Vertessen, who drills a shot straight at Trapp. Great entertainment so far!
21'
Offside!
Koch spots the run of Ekitiké, who gets a touch in ahead of the on-rushing Rönnow. It takes him a little wide, though, allowing the Union stopper to scramble back and block the eventual shot. A flag then goes up against the PSG loanee.

10'
Wide!
Brenden Aaronson controls a headed clearance, before driving a shot wide of the far post. The American's in form, and feels he should probably have hit the target!
3'
Route one
Rönnow lumps a ball up to Vertessen. He gets in ahead of Koch, but the Frankfurt defender applies enough pressure to force a shot that doesn't trouble the advancing Trapp.
2'
Attack mode
Bright start from Frankfurt - they're straight on the attack. A ball's slipped into the box, but the white shirts of Union snuff if out.
Kick-off!
Teams out
The Frankfurt fans are in fine voice, belting out 'Schwarz-Weiß wie Schnee' - the club's 'Black and white like snow' anthem.
Table talk
Frankfurt will end the weekend in sixth, whatever happens. The ideal combination of results would see them win and Leipzig lost at home to Mainz, thus reducing the gap to fifth to six points. Another positive result for 13th-placed Union, meanwhile, would mark another step towards mathematical safety.

Expect goals
In nine Bundesliga meetings, this game has never finished goalless and one of the many players hoping to maintain that record will be Mario Götze. He's scored in successive games and is searching for a third in a row for the first time since his Bayern Munich days in 2014.
