Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund

After breaking for the holidays, the German Bundesliga returns with Eintracht Frankfurt hosting Borussia Dortmund in a Friday night clash.

The visitors are aiming to continue their pursuit of leaders Bayern Munich and have done some good work on their travels. They should show their quality over the hosts, who have been unconvincing lately.

Eintracht Frankfurt News

Eintracht Frankfurt battled inconsistency in the first half of the season, picking up seven wins from 15 Bundesliga matches. Dino Toppmoller’s team are currently seventh in the table and will be keen to push for a European finish.

Die Adler struggled towards the end of 2025, with just one win in their last seven matches across all competitions, playing out a 1-1 draw at Hamburger SV last time out. They are also erratic on home soil, with just three wins in the last nine matches in front of their fans.

Eintracht Frankfurt have shown some attacking quality lately, scoring in six of their last eight matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in seven of their last 10 home matches.

Borussia Dortmund News

Sitting second in the table, nine points behind the leaders, the task for Borussia Dortmund will be to keep Bayern Munich within their sights. They will also be wary of the chasing pack, with Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig only three points behind.

Borussia Dortmund come into this clash unbeaten in eight of their last nine matches across all competitions, claiming a 2-0 victory over Borussia Monchengladbach last time out. Niko Kovac's team have also won at least one half in three of their last four Bundesliga away fixtures.

Goals are not a problem for Borussia Dortmund, who have scored first in four of their last five matches across all competitions. However, they are without a clean sheet in seven of their last eight away fixtures.

Head to Head

Borussia Dortmund have seven wins and three draws, while Eintracht Frankfurt have been victorious just twice in the last 12 matches. Both teams met in the DFB Pokal in October, with the visitors winning on penalties after a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Verdict

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have done some good work on their travels and will be feeling confident against Frankfurt, who are erratic at home. Having won at least one half in three of their last four away matches, a repeat could be on the cards here.

The visitors often make fast starts and could be backed to grab the opening goal, having scored first in four of their last five matches. With both teams scoring in three of their last five meetings, a similar outcome is expected here.
