Our prediction for the match Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund
“The Eagles”, after several frankly unsuccessful years, managed to get 47 points last season. That was enough to take 6th place. “The Bumblebees”, on the contrary, seriously lost, losing the fight for 4th position to RB Leipzig, and were lucky that the Germans were given an additional place in the new Champions League cycle (otherwise the 2024 finalist would not be playing there now).
“The Yellow and Blacks” look pretty good in the main European tournament, having won 4 times. It is reasonable to mention that the Germans lost to the Spanish giants, Real (although they were leading with a 2-0 score) and Barcelona, but there is no threat to reaching the play-offs. “The Eagles” performed about the same in the Europa League – they got 13 points, and only the last round brought a defeat made by Lyon.
Toppmöller’s wards also gave up at the inner arena. They ended the year with a couple of defeats in the Bundesliga (they had lost the same number of matches before there). The team also played with a 0-3 result in the cup confrontation with RB Leipzig. The meeting with St. Pauli, which happened after a break, resulted in a 1-0 score. And the club continued with a confident 4-1 victory in the game against Freiburg. Nuri Şahin and his footballers have won only half of the championship matches, mainly on the native field, and in the cup struggle with Wolfsburg brought a misfire – 0-1. Borussia opened the new part of the competition with an away victory in January. And then it lost with a 2-4 score to a newcomer, Holstein, in Kiel.
