Match Preview
Borussia Dortmund will eye the top spot in the Bundesliga table when they travel to an out-of-sorts Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.
Both sides are separated by three points and seven places in the ladder. While Dortmund are only behind pacesetters RB Leipzig, Frankfurt are in ninth place with two wins and as many defeats.
Both outfits have endured contrasting run of form as well. While Frankfurt suffered a horrifying 3-0 defeat at home to last season's Europa League runners-up Arsenal after dropping all three points against Augsburg last weekend, Dortmund earned a well-fought point against Barcelona in mid-week.
Trending
Lucien Favre's Dortmund are the most prolific side in the league, having registered 13 goals in just four matches. They have won 44 of their 92 Bundesliga meetings with Frankfurt - more victories than they have picked up against any other club in the Bundesliga.
However, Frankfurt's home record in the league means Dortmund will have their task cut out as Adi Hutter's men have won both of their domestic matches at the Commerzbank-Arena.
On that note, let's look at the team news and predicted line-up ahead of the highly anticipated encounter.
Team News
Eintracht Frankfurt
Mijat Gacinovic, who sustained an injury during warm-up a week ago, is expected to miss out. Jonathan de Guzman is another absentee, owing to a muscular strain.
Marco Russ is ruled out due to a ruptured Achilles tendon, while Goncalo Paciencia is touted to start after having made an appearance off the bench against the Gunners. He has been directly involved in each of his side's last four Bundesliga goals. Dominic Kohr picked up a red against Arsenal.
Borussia Dortmund
The likes of Thorgan Hazard and Axel Witsel have returned, meaning Dortmund have a near full fit squad ahead of this game.
