Eintracht Frankfurt vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips (9 January)

Despite the obvious qualities in its possession, Eintracht Frankfurt is not really part of the elite of this Bundesliga. The fault, in particular, is chronic defensive fragility since the start of the season. However, everything is not to be thrown away for the Capricious Diva who is in 7th place in the ranking with a delay of only 4 points on the top 4 qualifying for the Champions League. Before the winter break, the Eagles took a nice slap against Leipzig 6-0 before reviving against Augsburg 1-0. They finally concluded their year 2025 with a draw won on the Hamburg field 1-1.

On the other hand, Borussia Dortmund can be generally satisfied with their first part of the season if they linger on current 2nd place in the standings. However, the BVB knows that it will undoubtedly be very complicated for them to win the title since they are 9 points behind the Munich leader who seems untouchable this year. Rather successful in December, Niko Kovac's men have scored 3 victories in their last 4 matches played against Bayer Leverkusen 1-2, Hoffenheim 2-0, Friborg 1-1 and Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-0. 

Absent before the break, the precious scorer Burkardt (8 goals in the Bundesliga) should still be missing. His replacement Batshuayi is also very uncertain, as is the experienced midfielder Chandler. On the other hand, Tunisian midfielder Skhiri should be back after being eliminated from the CAN with Tunisia. Uncertainty also around the young tricolor Bahoya. As for the forces present, we can of course cite the Turkish Uzun (5 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga), the Japanese Doan (4 goals, 4 assists) and the interesting Knauff (2 goals). Little in sight since his arrival at the club, the former Montpellier Wahi was loaned to Nice during the winter transfer window.

Expelled before the winter break, English midfielder Jobe Bellingham will be suspended this week. To this we add that Algerian defender Bensebaïni will certainly not have returned from the CAN where he played in the 1/8 finals with Algeria at the start of the week. Author of a lackluster first part of the season, Serhou Guirassy has only scored 5 goals in the Bundesliga this season, only one more than midfielders Adeyemi and Brandt and the rather formidable Beier (4 goals each). Note the departure last week of midfielder Gross for Brighton. The probable line-ups for Eintracht Frankfurt - Borussia Dortmund:Eintracht Frankfurt: Zetterer - Kristensen, Koch, Collins, Brown - Dahoud, Höjlund - Doan, Götze, Bahoya - Knauff.
