Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction: Battle for a champions league spot

The match between the fourth and fifth-placed teams in the Bundesliga will be entertaining to watch. Both teams play amazing attacking football. Dortmund defeated Stuttgart 5-0 at home while Frankfurt defeated Monchengladbach 1-3 away from home. The match will be very tight but we expect both sides to score and goals will be over 2.5. 

Eintracht Frankfurt

A poor start to the season has been changed drastically with Eintracht Frankfurth now in a champions league position. A series of impressive wins and solid defence has enabled Frankfurth to occupy the fourth position. For Eintracht Frankfurth to maintain this position, they need to defeat Dortmund which will not be an easy task. At least a goal is to be expected from the home side. 

Dortmund

Dortmund scored five against relegation-threatened Stuttgart last week and drew blank against Manchester City in the Champions League. Before the break for the world cup, Dortmund will desire to move into the Champions League for next season. With the attacking talent on display, expect both teams to score.
