Sunday's La Liga predictions including Schalke 04 vs. Union Berlin

Sports Mole provides score predictions for both of Sunday's Bundesliga fixtures - Koln vs. Eintracht Frankfurt and Schalke vs. Union Berlin.

FC Koln will be desperate to pick up their first points of the 2020-21 Bundesliga season when they host in-form Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.

Indeed, after a disappointing 1-1 draw at home to newly-promoted Arminia Bielefeld on the opening day, Frankfurt secured two consecutive wins prior to the international break to move up to third in the table.

We say: FC Koln 1-3 Eintracht Frankfurt


Frankfurt are yet to keep a clean sheet this season, while Koln have scored in defeat in both home games so we can see them scoring past Kevin Trapp.

However, with Dost and Silva in excellent form in attack and the hosts looking a little leaky at the back, we think the visitors' firepower will help ensure three wins on the bounce, which they did not achieve throughout the whole of last season.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.

A struggling Schalke 04 welcome ninth-placed Union Berlin at the Veltins Arena in Sunday's Bundesliga fixture.

The home side's torrid start to the season can be summed up by the 4-0 hammering they suffered at RB Leipzig in their previous outing, whilst Union trounced Mainz by the same scoreline at home.

We say: Schalke 04 1-1 Union Berlin


Schalke's lacklustre form this calendar year means that they are already early candidates for relegation this season.

However, even without the famous crowd present to create a hostile atmosphere for the visitors, previous meetings between the two and with Union's away struggles mean that this is likely to be an evenly-matched contest.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
