Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting tips
After the defeat against Red Bull Salzburg in the Europa League Borussia Dortmund is challenged again on Sunday and receives in the fight for the Champions League places the guests of Eintracht Frankfurt. In recent years, BVB had no problems with the Hessians, at least at home. In general, the home record of black-yellow against Frankfurt is very good. But this season Eintracht plays as strong as in a long time. And in the current state of Dortmund, something is possible in the Signal Iduna Park.
Dortmund:
Oje, Oje, Dortmund! On Thursday Borussia Dortmund lost the first leg in the first knockout round of the Europa League against Red Bull Salzburg at home with 1: 2. Probably the worst from Dortmunder point of view: The defeat was absolutely earned. The BVB won thirteen chances, but only two shots went to the housing of RB Salzburg. The Austrians made it with fifteen finals (the penalty for the interim 1-0 lead not included), of which at least five went on the box of Borussia, better. Overall, it was a weak performance by Dortmund, who lined up to a chain of weak matches. Just reaching the round of the last sixteen of the Europa League was a little bit happy, as Dortmund saved just 1: 1 at Atalanta Bergamo just before the end. This was followed by two more 1: 1 in the Bundesliga against Augsburg and RB Leipzig. While the draw at the Red Bulls was still perceived as a performance improvement over the match against Augsburg, the match on Thursday was definitely a step backwards.
In the Bundesliga, Dortmund will probably have to fight for the Champions League until the last matchday. Currently Dortmund is only due to the better goal difference over the coming opponent Frankfurt in third place. The distances between the ranks two to six, however, are vanishingly small.

That makes currently only ranked ten in the home table! Of the last four Bundesliga games in the home stadium Dortmund could only win against HSV 2-0, with the second goal fell in stoppage time.
Frankfurt:
The fans of Eintracht Frankfurt can look forward to international competition in the Commerzbank Arena in the coming season. The only question is: Will Frankfurt be involved in the concert of the greats, or will Eintracht finally be content with the Europa League? The at least it should be at least in the end, because on the assumption that the Bayern win the DFB Cup, will entitle at the end of the season also rank seven for participation in the qualification for the Europa League and on this Frankfurt has currently seven points ahead. The previous yield after the winter break can be seen. Of eight games in the Bundesliga in the second half Frankfurt has won five and lost only two. In addition, the Hesse celebrated in early February, the entry into the semifinals of the DFB Cup. Interesting: Frankfurt lost the last two games in Augsburg and Stuttgart away to zero. Overall, Frankfurt drew in the foreign only three times the short straw. The Eintracht is still one of the best away teams in the Bundesliga with six more away wins and three division of points. Should Frankfurt win in Dortmund, then the Hessen jump in the away table back to second place.
Coach Niko Kovac would be happy with a point in the Signal Iduna Park, especially when he looks at the results of his Eintracht away games in Dortmund: Frankfurt have all lost their last six outings in Dortmund. In this millennium, the Eintracht comes to only one victory at Borussia in fourteen attempts – two draws, eleven defeats. Overall, Frankfurt could win in Dortmund only nine times in history. BVB celebrated 32 home wins, six times there was a draw. By comparison, at home Frankfurt won 48 games against Dortmund exactly half and lost only thirteen.
