Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions and Betting Tips
We're set for a mouth-watering clash this Saturday at the Commerzbank Arena with Frankfurt and Dortmund set to ignite the fireworks in the German Bundesliga. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
Borussia Dortmund leads the way on the head-to-head side of things with 16 wins in 29 meetings with their opponents who boast just six wins during this spell. In the reverse match early this season, Dortmund ran out 5-2 winners at the Signal Iduna Park. Would they make it six points from two games against their opponents this weekend?
Frankfurt eyeing fourth consecutive league victory
Eintracht Frankfurt has let go of the anchor holding them in place at the beginning of the season as they went from recording just one victory in their first eight league games to winning six of the last seven league matches before the December break. Their hard-fought 1-0 victory against Mainz stretched their winning run to three league games and this sublime run of form has put them in 6th position, gunning for Europe next season. Frankfurt, however, can't rest on their laurels with the competition for Europe set to get heated up as we begin the second half of the season
It's the same old story for Dortmund as they are, once again, losing track of runaway leaders and defending champions Bayern Munich. Marco Rose's troops' kick-off 2022 is nine points adrift of the league leaders and would need to be nothing but spotless in the remainder of the season if they're to somehow challenge for the title. Their form against the bottom sides has been their Achilles heel and this was evident in their game before the winter break as they went down to Hertha Berlin in a five-goal thriller. It is also to be noted that they haven't been the best on their travels with just 10 points from a possible 24 this season. Would their dreadful away form continue at Frankfurt this weekend?
Frankfurt vs Dortmund Team News
Frankfurt possible starting XI:
Trapp; Tuta, Hinteregger, N'Dicka; Chandler, Jakic, Sow, Kostic; Borre, Kamada; Paciencia
Dortmund possible starting XI:
Hitz; Meunier, Hummels, Pongracic, Guerreiro; Bellingham, Can; Hazard, Brandt, Malen; Haaland
Frankfurt vs Dortmund Prediction: 2-2
The reverse match between both sides saw seven goals and we expect to see yet another goal-laden affair this weekend with both defences, not exactly the best. Dortmund's away form has been bottom-tier this season, however, we predict they would do just enough to secure at least a point to kick off the new year.
