Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund: Match Preview

Eintracht Frankfurt:

After a challenging start to the season, Eintracht Frankfurt have found its footing, clinching a vital 2-0 victory against St. Pauli in the Bundesliga. This win not only brought them their first clean sheet in 11 games but also served as a much-needed boost for the team. Under the guidance of coach Dino Toppmoller, the Eagles have been battling hard, overcoming a recent slump in form where they conceded an alarming 22 goals over six matches.

Now, they've demonstrated their attacking resolve by scoring at least two goals in five of their last eight outings across all competitions. Positioned sixth in the league with 13 points, Eintracht Frankfurt is on the heels of fourth-placed Dortmund, just four points behind. However, they find themselves 11 points behind the league leaders, Bayern Munich.

The Eagles reached the round of 16 in the DFB Pokal for the past two seasons and even made it to the final in 2022-23, where they narrowly lost to RB Leipzig by 2-0, a bitter memory they are eager to erase. This recent victory against St. Pauli was not just a crucial win but also their first in five matches, breaking a tough streak of three consecutive defeats at home. With renewed confidence, Frankfurt are assured to make a statement against Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund:

On the other hand, Dortmund aimed to challenge for the Bundesliga title this season, but after a 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich on October 18, that seems unlikely. Under Niko Kovac, the team has secured two recent victories, a 1-0 win against FC Koln and a 4-2 triumph over Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League. In their last seven matches, they have achieved five wins, one draw, and one loss.

Dortmund has scored 14 league goals, seven fewer than Frankfurt, but has conceded only six, 12 fewer than Frankfurt. They failed to progress past the second round of the DFB-Pokal in 2024-25, with their last title won in 2020-21. Dortmund lost to Frankfurt 2-0 at Deutsche Bank Park in January, yet they had previously won six of their last seven encounters. Their only away loss this season was to Bayern, while they recorded four away wins.
