- Dortmund are 2nd in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 14 points from 6 matches. Eintracht Frankfurt are 11th in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with 8 points from 6 games. Dortmund have won 3 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings, with Frankfurt taking 1 win and 1 draw.
Betting the game
Borussia Dortmund will be 11/25 favourites for this Saturday's Bundesliga game with Eintracht Frankfurt at Signal Iduna Park and there is absolutely nothing to suggest backing anything other than the home side.
The draw at 39/10 or Frankfurt at 19/4 are far too low in the odds for a team that have conceded ten goals in three away Bundesliga 2026/2027 fixtures so far, although Dortmund have been the better of the two so far this season.
So we are with Dortmund all the way here, albeit with some trepidation as Die Borussen are not totally convincing. They have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five and Frankfurt have lost 6-0 at RB Leipzig, won 1-0 at home against Köln and beat Braunschweig 4-0 in a friendly in their last three.
Die Borussen have momentum
Dortmund are clearly the more likely winner because they are unbeaten at home in three matches in the Bundesliga 2026/2027, winning two and drawing one. Their goals per game average at Signal Iduna Park is 2.33.
Frankfurt's 4-0 friendly win over Braunschweig falls in between their 6-0 away defeat at RB Leipzig and 1-0 home win against Köln, so that doesn't really count. Niko Kovac's side are solid and possess an extra bit of bite in the middle thanks to Felix Nmecha, who has scored 2 of Dortmund's last 6 goals in the last 5.
Die Borussen also won the head-to-head 3-2 here five months ago and Frankfurt have failed to win on their last two trips to Dortmund. Adi Hütter's side are pressing furiously and playing with pace in transition, particularly through the half-spaces, which should help them in this clash.
Die Adler can provide a goal
But Dortmund are well organised in a three-at-the-back system and have a habit of playing through the pressure rather than over it, so the shape of the hosts should hold up. Frankfurt counter-press well, which could force Dortmund into mistakes and turnovers, so this game has the potential to be a lively one.
Fabio Silva is the top scorer in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with two in his three appearances so far and has a sharpness in the box that his teammates lack. Younes Ebnoutalib has bagged four in four Bundesliga 2026/2027 matches, however, and is Frankfurt's main goal threat as he has a knack of turning half-chances into goals.
An over 2.5 goals play looks a good fit for these two attacking sides. The odds of 33/100 are on the short side, but we'll take the hosts to win 3-1 for the correct score bet.
