Dortmund – Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (22.4.2023)
The Bundesliga title race is in full swing, and with six rounds remaining, Borussia Dortmund cannot afford to drop any more points. The BVB host the struggling Eintracht Frankfurt this Saturday, and the Eagles desperately need to break out of their slump if they want to keep pace with the top six teams in the league and qualify for European football next season.
Dortmund vs. Eintracht Frankfurt: Initial Situation
Borussia Dortmund are second in the Bundesliga with 57 points (W18, D3, L7) and a 62:39 goal difference. They are two points behind Bayern and five ahead of third-placed Union Berlin. On the other side, Eintracht Frankfurt are seventh with 42 points (W11, D9, L8) and a 49:41 goal difference. The Eagles are a couple of points behind sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen and six points behind the fifth spot that leads to the UEFA Europa League.
Dortmund Stats & Form
The BVB drew 3-3 against Stuttgart on the road in the previous round. Dortmund blew a two-goal first-half lead, and the ten-man Stuttgart tied the game at 3-3 seven minutes into injury time. The BVB have been pretty inconsistent lately, tallying three losses and a pair of wins and stalemates over their previous seven matches in all competitions. Five of their last six contests have seen three or more goals on the scoreboard.
Donyell Malen accounted for a goal and an assist versus Stuttgart, and the 24-year-old forward now has six goals and six dishes on his season tally. Jude Bellingham leads the way for Dortmund with ten goals and seven assists, Marco Reus has eight goals and seven dishes, while Raphael Guerreiro is the team’s best assist-maker with 13 dishes in 31 appearances in all competitions.
Eintracht Frankfurt Stats & Form
The Eagles have only won one of their previous 11 matches in all competitions. They’ve outlasted Union Berlin 2-0 at home in the DFB Pokal quarterfinal. The Eagles are winless in seven straight showings in the Bundesliga, recording four draws and three losses in the process. They’ve earned just a point over their last five Bundesliga matches on the road.
Randal Kolo Muani is enjoying a wonderful season, and the 24-year-old striker has bagged 20 goals while tallying 14 assists across 39 games in 2022-23. Daichi Kamada has 13 goals and five assists on his account, while Mario Gotze, a former Dortmund star, has recorded nine assists so far this season.
Dortmund – Eintracht Frankfurt: Head-to-Head
The BVB have registered eight wins, four draws, and a loss in their last 13 encounters with the Eagles. Dortmund have won three consecutive matches over Eintracht Frankfurt, including a 2-1 victory in their first meeting of the season. Each of their last five dates saw both teams score.
Dortmund – Eintracht Frankfurt Odds
Neither side has impressed lately, and I’ve already mentioned the Eagles’ poor run of form. Hereof, the bookmakers favor Dortmund over Eintracht, and you can take the BVB at 1.65 odds with bet365 Sportsbook. Both Teams to Score YES pays just 1.57 at Unibet Sportsbook, and Over 2.5 Goals sits at 1.50 at bet365 which tells you that the bookies are looking for a proper high-scoring affair.
The odds are not attractive if you fancy Dortmund’s chances. The BVB should prevail over the Eagles, but Dortmund’s defense hasn’t been at its best recently, so I would go with a Both Teams to Score YES & Over 2.5 Goals combo. Dortmund haven’t kept their net intact in eight straight matches. On the other side, the Eagles have conceded in ten of their previous 11 games overall.
