Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Predicted lineup, betting tips, odds, injury news, H2H, telecast | Bundesliga 2024-25

Die Adler will aim to kickstart their Bundesliga season with a win over reigning UCL finalist Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund fans were understandably disheartened by the departure of Marco Reus, but the team’s run to the UEFA Champions League final last season provided a silver lining. Despite their valiant efforts, they fell just short of European glory as Real Madrid claimed the trophy.

Since then, Dortmund have been determined to bounce back, showcasing their resolve with recent victories. They defeated Cerezo Osaka 3-2, overcame Aston Villa 2-0, and secured a resounding 4-1 win over Phönix Lübeck in the DFB-Pokal first round. With a strong start to the season, Dortmund will be eager to maintain their momentum and aim for a solid performance in their upcoming fixture against Eintracht Frankfurt.

Eintracht Frankfurt, having finished sixth in the Bundesliga last season, narrowly missed out on a UEFA Champions League spot and settled for a position in the UEFA Europa League group stage. Despite a series of inconsistent performances, they have remained a formidable force in German football.

In their recent match against Eintracht Braunschweig, they demonstrated their capabilities with a convincing 4-1 victory. Under the guidance of Dino Toppmoller, Frankfurt aims to not only contend strongly in Germany but also to secure silverware on the European stage.

We can expect this match to be a captivating encounter, as both sides are eager and highly capable of outplaying each other. With both Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt displaying strong performances and competitive spirits, this fixture promises to be a thrilling spectacle. As the curtain-raiser for the Bundesliga, this clash is anticipated to be a goal-laden affair and a fitting start to the new season.
