Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction: The home side to win

In the Bundesliga on Sunday, March 17, Borussia Dortmund hosts Hoffenheim at Signal Iduna Park. Borussia Dortmund will resume Bundesliga play on Sunday at home against Hoffenheim, following a midweek Champions League win against PSV Eindhoven. After defeating Union Berlin in the league, the Yellow-Blacks want to continue on this trajectory. Edin Terzic's team are the likely team to win this game as Borussia Dortmund is adamant about retaining their Champions League spot and because they are more motivated to win than the hosts.

This season, Frankfurt has won 20 (W5 D5 L1) of the 33 points that were available at Deutsche Bank Park in 11 Bundesliga games. Die Adler are attempting to continue their home undefeated run of five games (Wins 3, Draws 2, Losses 0) versus Bayern München, which dates back to December 2023.

Can Dortmund maintain their grip on their league position to ensure Champions League football next season?

Borussia Dortmund defeated Union Berlin handily to recover from their shocking home loss to Hoffenheim. With Leipzig in fifth place only one point ahead, their hopes of finishing in the top four are realistic but in jeopardy. The visitors will be sufficiently motivated by this to seek three points from this game. Dortmund, who often score a lot, have had some difficulty this season in front of goal. They have the fewest goals scored thus far among the top five, at 48. Head-to-head records, however, provide a cause for them to maintain their optimism going into this match. Dortmund has defeated Werder Bremen five times in the past six meetings. The two victories in their previous two encounters are part of this streak.

In October, they triumphed 1-0 over Werder Bremen in the rematch. The latest game saw Dortmund thrash Union Berlin 2-0 to maintain their fourth-place standings with two goals from Ian Maatsen and Karim Adeyemi. Their objective will be to win two games in a row, and they will be optimistic about earning three points. Dortmund has a perfect record in their past seven away games. Only three of those, though, were victories for them, and they came in the last five. 

For the visiting team, Felix Nmecha, Gregor Kobel, Sebastien Haller, and Samuel Bamba are all injured.

Over the past ten games, Eintracht Frankfurt has seen three victories, two defeats, and five draws. Six of Eintracht Frankfurt's past ten games have seen over 2.5 goals, and the remaining four have seen under 2.5 goals. In the past ten games, Eintracht Frankfurt has scored 15 goals. In each game, Eintracht Frankfurt has managed to score 1.5 goals on average. In the same time frame, Eintracht Frankfurt has also given up 15 goals. This means that we give up 1.5 goals on average every game. In the past ten home games, Eintracht Frankfurt has experienced three victories, four losses, and three draws.

Eintracht Frankfurt have won all five of their home league games prior but lost their last two league games at home.

Both teams have had issues with their defence recently, as evidenced by the number of goals they've conceded. This could lead to a high-scoring match. Borussia Dortmund will be playing at home, which could give them the much-needed edge in this fixture.

Eintracht Frankfurt has had a mixed bag of results in the first half of the season but is having an amazing in the second half of the season.

Given the recent form and other factors, a 3-1 or 2-1 win for Borussia Dortmund seems like a plausible outcome.
