FT: Fürth 4-5 Magdeburg
In hindsight, actually not a surprising result at all given Fürth have now been involved in 5 of the ten most high-scoring 2. Bundesliga games this season, and FCM have been involved in 3 of them - including a 4-5 defeat to Fürth earlier in the campaign. Easy money, really.

FT: Union Berlin 1-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Brown fires Frankfurt ahead late on - only their 3rd shot of the game, but a brilliant half volley. Only for Höjlund to foul Khedira in the box one min later. Second yellow + pen, which Querfeld squeezes under Kaua. Poor game. Neither team have won in 2026.

HT: Union Berlin 0-0 Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht dominating possession but cautious in their attacks. Exploded a couple of times down the right with Götze/Höjlund/Doan combining, but produced no shot on goal. GK Kaua‘s save from Kemlein the most spectacular moment so far - on the pitch at least.
