Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt: team news and expert analysis
The Signal Iduna Park giants finished second in the previous Bundesliga season. The new campaign began with a "home" defeat to Bayern in the Super Cup. However, they moved ahead of Bayern in the league table after dropping fewer points at the start of the season — their first points were lost against Werder, despite leading 2-0. Last round, they drew 0-0 with Union. At the same time, the Germans began their Champions League campaign with a win over Villarreal. This month, they suffered a shock defeat to Bodø/Glimt. There were also concerns in the match against Sabah, but Dortmund won 2-1.
The Frankfurt-based club endured a disastrous 2025/2026 season, dropping to eighth place and missing out on European competition. Their start this time has been even weaker: after five rounds, they had collected just five points. A week ago, a single goal was enough to beat Cologne 1-0.
The runners-up score an average of 1.83 goals per match and concede just 0.67. The currently modest visitors have scored 1.67 goals per game, but they are conceding as many as 2.67 on average.
