Matches dates in Laravel 5

I have $startdate and $finishdate, and in one table in Mysql, two columns "start_date" and "finish_date".

I want to know if the first range ($startdate,$finishdate) it matches in some date with the second range ("start_date,"finish_date").

I tried with Between, but with Eloquent is different, and not working for me.
