Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Preview
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund are accustomed to changes before each season, and the 2024/2025 campaign is no exception. Although they reached the Champions League final and narrowly lost against Real Madrid, Edin Terzic terminated his contract, and Nuri Şahin stepped in as the new head coach.
During the summer transfer window, Dortmund let go of numerous players. The departure of Niklas Füllkrug was a significant blow, and the club also bid farewell to their legend, Marco Reus, who moved to LA Galaxy. Additionally, Mats Hummels is currently without a club after his contract expired.

On the flip side, made several key signings to bolster their squad. Serhou Guirassy and Waldemar Anton were brought in from Stuttgart, while Pascal Gross joined from Brighton. The club also secured the services of Yan Couto and Maximilian Beier, who are expected to add depth to the team.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht finished sixth last season, earning them a spot in the Europa League. The Eagles were one of the most entertaining and prolific teams last season and produced many exciting matches.
During the pre-season, Eintracht were formidable, scoring 24 goals in five friendlies while suffering only one defeat against Valencia (3-2). In their most recent outing, they cruised past Braunschweig in the DFB Pokal with a 4-1 victory, with Hugo Ekitike scoring twice in the second half.

Dino Toppmöller’s side have not lost any key players so far this season except for Willian Pacho, who moved to PSG. However, they have announced the signing of Oscar Højlund from Copenhagen, adding more firepower to their already potent attack.
Bet hereBorussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
- Pick: Dortmund to Win
- Odds: 1.68 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
Dortmund may have lost three pivotal players last season, but the management did well in the summer transfer window. At Signal Iduna Park, Dortmund are always favourites and they will play the first match with incredible spirit.
If we look at the H2H meetings, Dortmund has won five out of the previous six games, and the last time they lost against their counterparts was in 2021.
Under Nuri Şahin, Die Borussen played their first official match against Phonix Lubeck at DFB Pokal and won 4-1 convincingly. Eintracht, on the other hand, have had trouble winning against Dortmund in recent years. We think Dortmund will enter the pitch motivated from the first minute and secure a victory at home.
Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: 1.44 (22Bet)
The rivalry between Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt has consistently been a goal-fest, with a history of high-scoring encounters. To put it into perspective, in their last 10 matches, nine have ended with three or more goals, and they’ve had seven consecutive games featuring over 2.5 goals.
This fixture has seen its fair share of thrillers and dramatic moments, and we expect the same to happen in this encounter as well. Both sides have quality attackers who can create big chances out of seemingly nothing.

For Dortmund, Serhou Guirassy was the second top goalscorer in the Bundesliga. He will undoubtedly be the main forward of Dortmund. Conversely, Eintracht’s Egyptian forward Omar Marmoush will be eager to make his mark on the scoresheet. We suggest picking over 2.5 goals in Dortmund vs Eintracht.
