Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt: match preview
Borussia Dortmund currently sit second in the Bundesliga table and are no longer in the title race. However, the battle for second place is still ongoing, and they could secure a top-two finish with a victory in this match. Dortmund have collected 67 points from 32 rounds and hold a five-point advantage over third place. With only two matches remaining after this fixture, a win here would mathematically guarantee second spot. Dortmund’s recent form has been inconsistent, with three defeats and two wins in their last five matches.
Eintracht Frankfurt occupy eighth place in the Bundesliga standings and are still chasing seventh place and qualification for the UEFA Conference League. After 32 rounds, Frankfurt have collected 43 points and trail seventh place by just one point, while sixth place is already 15 points away. As a result, the club’s only realistic target is seventh position and a Conference League berth. Their form has also been disappointing, as they have failed to win any of their previous three matches. In addition, they possess the third-worst defensive record in the division with 60 goals conceded. With such inconsistency, securing European qualification will not be easy.
Probable line-ups
- Borussia Dortmund: Kobel; Reggiani, Anton, Schlotterbeck; Ryerson, Sabitzer, Bellingham, Svensson; Brandt, Beier; Guirassy
- Eintracht Frankfurt: Zetterer; Amenda, Koch, Theate, Brown; Uzun, Larsson, Hojlund; Doan, Burkardt, Bahoya
Prediction
Borussia are clearly aiming to secure victory and wrap up second place in the standings. I believe they can achieve that at home against a side that may not have the same level of motivation.
