Off the back of a top six finish last season, Borussia Dortmund embark on a new Bundesliga campaign on Saturday. The hosts will face Eintracht Frankfurt for their opening game.

The last time Borussia Dortmund played Eintracht Frankfurt, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches, as they scored two goals on average per match. That makes a total of 20 goals, whilst they allowed 13 goals against, for an average of 1.3 per outing. They pulled off two clean sheets.

Eintracht Frankfurt average 1.3 goals per game, scoring 13 times, while conceding 19. That makes an average of 1.9 per game, with clean sheet in one as well in their previous ten matches.

Their latest encounter was a belter of a game, which finished with a 3-1 scoreline. An uncommon result, but we would not mind a similar goal fest this coming Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction

Borussia Dortmund Form

Showing inconsistent form, Borussia Dortmund lost two of their past three matches, going down 3-0 against Mainz 05, before beating Darmstadt 4-0. The joy was short-lived, as Real Madrid proved too strong in a 0-2 defeat. Borussia Dortmund won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga, while also drawing one. They suffered two defeats, while they scored 15 and conceded seven goals.

While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, Borussia Dortmund look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.

Eintracht Frankfurt Form

Eintracht Frankfurt look solid currently after going three matches unbeaten, which started by drawing 1-1 against Borussia Moenchengladbach. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with RB Leipzig in a 2-2 draw, before taking out Eintracht Braunschweig in a 1-4 win. Eintracht Frankfurt only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by 13 goals to eight.

While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, Borussia Dortmund look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, and we fully expect the trend to continue, when Borussia Dortmund renew Eintracht Frankfurt their acquaintance.
