Eintracht started the year with two wins against tough opponents. This still makes them contenders for the top 4. However, there were reasons for concern, because the club went on a winter break after four defeats in five matches.
Omar Marmoush has been the key player for the club this season. The Egyptian player has 15 goals and nine assists to his account. However, there are rumours that he will leave the team during the winter transfer window.
Dino Topmöller’s men are in good shape now. Thanks to Marmoush, the club are one of the best in the offence and have decent midfielders. However, their performance in the defence still needs improvement.
It is hard to imagine that after a crushing victory against Freiburg, we will see changes in the lineup. In addition, there are no significant injuries in Eintracht.
Dortmund were dismal in their last match against Kiel. Despite having 75% possession they conceded four goals and while there were slim chances of a comeback, they eventually lost the game 4-2.
The gap to the top four is only growing. Nevertheless, the sporting director still defends Nuri Sahin and blames the players. The absence of a leader has been a problem for the club after the departures of Marco Reus and Mats Hummels.
Injuries have hit Dortmund notably. Waldemar Anton will certainly replace Emre Can in the centre of defence. Julian Ryerson and Ramy Bensebaini did not come out for the second half of the match against Kiel and are doubtful for the upcoming match. Giovanni Reyna is in excellent shape and will probably replace Marcel Sabitzer.
Bet hereDortmund have displayed poor form lately and there is pressure on the head coach and players. Moreover, in eight rounds, they won only once and lost five games away.
Eintracht will try to get revenge after losing their match in the first round. The hosts have one of the best goal differences on their home field in the Bundesliga and have lost only once at Deutsche Bank Park.
Eintracht looked inspired against Freiburg and it will be difficult for the visitors to recover quickly after the shocking loss to Kiel. Thus our first pick for this match would be Eintracht to win.
Dortmund have issues in the defence. Even the return of all main defenders to the lineup did not improve the situation. The rest of the team can’t boast of the best form either. However, the match is important, and we are not likely to see a one-sided game.
In three consecutive Dortmund matches, more than three goals were scored. For Eintracht, this happened in four out of six cases. Also if we take a look at head-to-head matches, plenty of them ended with lots of goals.
We anticipate an attacking display from both sides. Eintracht are usually focused on the attack when they are playing at home. Our second pick in this game is over 3.5 goals.
