Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction heads to Signal Iduna Park on Saturday as second meets eleventh in a headline Bundesliga clash. Niko Kovac’s Dortmund are unbeaten in the league and sit just behind Bayern Munich on goal difference, yet the hosts have stuttered of late — two straight Bundesliga draws and a Champions League defeat at Bodo/Glimt before Tuesday’s 2-1 win at Sabah.
This Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction pits the league’s meanest defence against an attack carried by Younes Ebnoutalib’s five league goals. Adi Hütter’s Frankfurt were humiliated 6-0 at Leipzig last time out on the road, yet they bounced back by beating Köln 1-0 for their first league clean sheet since March. Dortmund won this fixture 3-2 at Signal Iduna Park in May and are firm favourites at 1.48.
Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Match Preview
Saturday’s 17:30 WAT kickoff is a true test of Dortmund’s title credentials. The hosts have won two of three at Signal Iduna Park this term and boast the league’s meanest defence, but back-to-back Bundesliga draws have let the title race drift. Frankfurt, meanwhile, remain wildly inconsistent — thrashed 6-0 on their last road trip, then grinding out a 1-0 win at home. With Dortmund unbeaten in the last five meetings between these sides, the hosts look well placed to keep pace with Bayern.
