Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt are currently fourth in the league, three points behind league leaders Union Berlin. They have won four of their last five league games, with forwards Daichi Kamada and Randal Kolo Muani in particular impressing. Players like Mario Gotze and Jesper Lindstrom have chipped in with useful performances as well.
Having won the Europa League last season, the Bundesliga side will be keen to build on that success.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, are currently fifth in the league, one point behind Eintracht Frankfurt. They have won only two of their last five league games, and despite heavy investment during the summer transfer window, they have struggled to get going.
With the addition of players like Niklas Sule, Nico Schlotterbeck and Karim Adeyemi, Borussia Dortmund were expected to challenge for the league title, especially following the departure of Robert Lewandowski from Bayern Munich. However, it is clear that a lot of work needs to be done.
Eintracht Frankfurt are in good form heading into this game. However, Borussia Dortmund could edge past their opponents and emerge victorious.
