Reason for Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Predictions
Eintracht Frankfurt welcomes Dortmund to the Deutsche Bank Park in both teams’ first match of the New Year. The home team is in the sixth position with 27 points, and the visitors are in 2nd spot with 34 points. Eintracht Frankfurt has a decent home record and has only lost once at home this season, but they have dropped points by drawing four of their eight matches. They are on a very good run of results, having lost only once in their last 11 matches, with that loss coming away to Hoffenheim in December. Eintracht Frankfurt is unbeaten in their previous seven home matches against Dortmund, winning three and drawing four. Their last four matches against them were draws. Christopher Lenz (Calf Injury) won’t be able to feature for Eintracht Frankfurt manager Oliver Glasner. Sebastian Rode plays well in the middle of the pitch, and he does not allow the opponent much action. Filip Kostic plays excellently, he is fast in the one-on-one game, and he is unstoppable.
Dortmund once again finds themselves playing second fiddle to Bayern Munich. They are nine points being Bayern but can only blame themselves for this situation. Dortmund has no problems finding the back of the net, but defensively they have been very poor. They have an amazing scoring record, having scored at least two goals in 26 of their last 31 matches. The team that Dortmund has won the most matches against in the Bundesliga is Eintracht Frankfurt. They have won 46 times against them but have not won in the last seven away games. Jude Bellingham has excellent ball control, he can play in several positions, and every team needs such a player. Donyell Malen enjoys the pitch, and when he receives the ball and moves towards the goal, the opponent has problems. He was brought in as a great reinforcement. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the selector for the starting lineup. Borussia Dortmund manager Marco Rose has multiple availability issues to deal with. Manuel Akanji (Knee Surgery), Marcel Schmelzer (Knee Surgery), Giovanni Reyna (Fitness), Luca Unbehaun (Hand Injury), Dan-Axel Zagadou (Coronavirus), Marius Wolf (Coronavirus) cannot be considered.
Conclusion
It is going to be an exciting clash, as Eintracht Frankfurt is not without a chance of remaining undefeated. However, we believe Borussia Dortmund should meet the expectations and deliver a win.
The prediction for this match is over 2.5 goals. We hope that football fans will enjoy this match.
