Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Tips
Tip 1
Frankfurt brushed aside Freiburg with ease on Tuesday – the same night that Dortmund were handed a 4-2 humbling by Holstein Kiel.
Those results mean that the hosts have put together back-to-back wins after three straight losses, while the visitors have suffered consecutive defeats.
BVB’s woes only get worse when isolating their record to away games, where they’ve won just once, drawn two and lost the remaining five in the Bundesliga.
Compare that to five wins, two draws and just one defeat for Dino Toppmoller’s men on home soil, this fixture is strongly pointing to one outcome on Friday night.
Tip 2
Hugo Ekitike is a fine replacement should Omar Marmoush’s seemingly imminent departure to Manchester City go through.
The 22-year-old Frenchman has netted eight goals in 16 league appearances, with six of these coming at the Deutsche Bank Park.
His tally sits on 12 in 25 across all competitions, and with a healthy 2.9 shots per game average, a wounded Dortmund side could be easy pickings for a young, hungry striker who has found himself on the scoresheet this week already.
Eintracht Frankfurt Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
Bayern Munich and defending champions Bayer Leverkusen are the only sides better off than Frankfurt at this stage of the campaign; a testament to how well Dino Toppmoller’s side are performing.
The Eagles returned from the winter break with a hard-fought 1-0 win at St. Pauli before thumping Freiburg 4-1 at home last time out, extending their winning run to two matches and getting them back on track after a poor end to 2024.
Eintracht have been particularly impressive at Deutsche Bank Park, having lost just one of their 12 home matches in all competitions and they will be confident of overcoming a Dortmund side sliding down the standings.
Eintracht Frankfurt Predicted XI: Trapp; Brown, Tuta, Koch, Kristensen; Ebimbe, Knauff, Larsson, Skhiri, Gotze; Ekitike.
Borussia Dortmund Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up
BVB have lost their last two fixtures, going down 3-2 at home to Leverkusen before losing 4-2 at 17th-placed Holstein Kiel, leaving them in a battle to finish in a European position this term.
Head coach Nuri Sahin finds himself under pressure with his side having won just one of their last six Bundesliga matches, although they are ninth in the Champions League table and that form is perhaps what is saving his job right now.
Spearheaded by Omar Marmoush, who has netted in his last two appearances to take his season tally to 20 goals in all competitions, Eintracht are a force to be reckoned with and it would be no surprise to see them chalk up another home victory.
Borussia Dortmund Predicted XI: Kobel; Ryerson, Schlotterbeck, Anton, Bensebaini; Can, Groß, Nmecha; Brandt, Gittens, Guirassy.
