Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Preview

Eintracht Frankfurt will be going in search of a third league win on the trot in the German Bundesliga when they play host to Borussia Dortmund at their Deutsche Bank Park on Friday night following recent wins against St Pauli and Freiburg, which have helped lift Dino Toppmöller's side up into third place in the table.

Borussia Dortmund meanwhile have plummeted down the Bundesliga table to a disappointing ninth place after slipping to back-to-back defeats at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen and Holstein Kiel respectively, so the visitors will be desperate to avoid a third loss on the trot here on Friday night.

Back-to-back wins for the upcoming hosts by way of victories against St Pauli 1-0 and Freiburg 4-1 have helped Eintracht Frankfurt sustain their challenge for a possible top four finish in this season's Bundesliga campaign and the accompanying Champions League spot as well.

Indeed, Eintracht Frankfurt have emerged as one of the ‘dark horses' in this season's domestic top flight campaign but the hosts' success so far has been thoroughly deserved having suffered just four defeats in their 17 matches played to date.

Three of these four defeats have been inflicted upon Eintracht Frankfurt on their travels, including an opening day 2-0 loss away from home at Borussia Dortmund, while the hosts have won five of their eight home games so far; goals may also feature as 12 out of Eintracht Frankfurt's 17 games have seen both teams score.

Borussia Dortmund's mixed bag of results in recent times in the Bundesliga continued as the visitors slipped to a second defeat on the trot on Tuesday night with a heavy 4-2 loss away from home at Holstein Kiel which followed a previous 3-2 loss at home to Bayer Leverkusen.

Dortmund's results overall in this season's Bundesliga campaign have seen a definite decline in consistency and this is evident when looking at their Bundesliga record so far this term; seven wins, four draws and six defeats is a far cry from previous German top flight campaigns.

More importantly, six out of Borussia Dortmund's seven wins collected to date this term have been achieved on home soil at their SIGNAL IDUNA PARK but this means results on the road have suffered and this is exactly what has happened as the visitors have managed to capture just one win away from home all season.

Borussia Dortmund have lost five out of their eight outings on the road so far this season but goals look likely to occur on Friday night as 14 out of Dortmund's 17 games so far have resulted in both teams scoring.

Eintracht Frankfurt v Borussia Dortmund Verdict
