Borussia Dortmund come into this with the stronger recent home result in the sample, having beaten SC Freiburg 4-0, and that gives them a clear platform at Signal Iduna Park. Eintracht Frankfurt’s away form is more mixed, with a draw at FC Augsburg and a win at VfL Wolfsburg in their last two on the road, but they have also lost two of their last three league matches overall. With no xG data available, the recent scorelines are the best guide, and they point towards Dortmund having the more reliable attacking edge.
The head-to-head record also leans towards goals for Dortmund at home, with a 2-0 win in August 2024 and a 3-1 win in March 2024 among the recent meetings. Frankfurt did draw 3-3 in January 2026, so they have shown they can trouble Dortmund, but the balance of the recent results still favours the hosts. On that basis, Dortmund look the likelier side to control the game and turn pressure into a clear win.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund’s recent league form has been mixed, with two wins and three defeats across their last five matches. The standout result is the 4-0 home win over SC Freiburg, while the other victory came away at VfB Stuttgart, which suggests they can still produce strong performances when things click.
The defeats have been narrow, with 0-1 losses to Bayer 04 Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach, plus a 1-2 loss at TSG Hoffenheim. That pattern points to a side that has been competitive in most games, but one that has not always turned that into points.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Borussia Dortmund (3-4-2-1)
Predicted lineup: Gregor Kobel (Goalkeeper), Daniel Svensson (Defender), Julian Ryerson (Defender), Luca Reggiani (Defender), Nico Schlotterbeck (Defender), Waldemar Anton (Defender), Fábio Silva (Midfielder), Jobe Bellingham (Midfielder), Marcel Sabitzer (Midfielder), Maximilian Beier (Midfielder), Serhou Guirassy (Attacker)
Borussia Dortmund’s 3-4-2-1 should give them a solid base of three centre-backs, with wing support helping them progress the ball and keep pressure on Frankfurt. The shape also leaves Serhou Guirassy with close support from the attacking midfielders, which should help Dortmund pin Frankfurt back.
Eintracht Frankfurt (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Michael Zetterer (Goalkeeper), Aurèle Amenda (Defender), Ellyes Skhiri (Defender), Nathaniel Brown (Defender), Robin Koch (Defender), Can Uzun (Midfielder), Hugo Larsson (Midfielder), Oscar Højlund (Midfielder), Arnaud Kalimuendo (Attacker), Jonathan Burkardt (Attacker), Ritsu Doan (Attacker)
Eintracht Frankfurt’s 4-2-3-1 gives them a familiar structure, with two deeper midfielders helping protect the back four and release the attacking line quickly. It should also allow Arnaud Kalimuendo, Jonathan Burkardt and Ritsu Doan to support the central striker areas and look for transitions.
