Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2025-26

The Black and Yellow emerged victorious when these sides last met.

Eintracht Frankfurt are now going to lock horns with Borussia Dortmund for their matchweek 16 fixture of the 2025-26 Bundesliga. This contest will take place at the Deutsche Bank Park.

The Eagles will be at home and it is going to be an additional advantage for them coming into the fixture. They were held to a draw by Hamburger SV in their last matchup. It was not their best performance, but for their next league outing, Eintracht Frankfurt will need to put in top efforts if they want to secure three points. They are currently in seventh place on the league table.

Borussia Dortmund are coming in after securing a 2-0 win against Borussia Mgladbach in their previous league game. They are now placed second on the Bundesliga points table, but are still away from the table toppers as they have a nine-point lead. The Black and Yellow will be away from home and must put in work to secure three crucial points.
