Borussia Dortmund vs Frankfurt prediction

A 5th place finish in the Bundesliga, the lowest since 2014/15 season, saw Borussia parting ways with coach Edin Terzic and in his place came his assistant and former BVB midfielder Nuri Sahin. It did not matter that they reached the Champions League final where they narrowly lost to Real Madrid. Sahin’s brief is quite simple. Put Dortmund back as a contender for the Bundesliga that, for the first time in a decade, went to a team not named Bayern Munich, following Leverkusen’s historic run. His reign got off to a smooth start as they made light work of lower-division outfit Lubeck in the German Cup last weekend. The rubber meets the road in this Bundesliga opener as Frankfurt comes to town.

Frankfurt are also on a redemption mission themselves. They finished just one place behind the hosts in the league but a massive 16-point gap shows the massive gulf between Champions League teams and “the rest”. The Eagles endured an unforgettable campaign away from home that ended in them failing to win any of the final 4 league matches (1D, 3L). They have nevertheless looked refreshed in pre-season, winning 4 of the 5 matches, albeit against nondescript sides. They also put to the sword lower league outfit Braunschweig with a 4-1 thrashing in their DFB Pokal opening round.

It’s been raining goals whenever these teams meet. Last season for instance ended 3-1 here and 3-3 at Frankfurt. Both teams have also looked sharp in pre-season and in their cup openers. We fancy them to carry the momentum into this opening game of the new Bundesliga season and we are going for at least 4 goals to be scored here as our main Borussia Dortmund vs Frankfurt prediction

Statistics for Borussia Dortmund vs Frankfurt Prediction

Team News Borussia Dortmund

• Dortmund Incomings in this transfer window: Gio Reyna, Pascal Gross, Maximilian Beier 
• Beier is set to make his debut after coming in from Hoffenheim. He could get off the mark early; each of his final six goals for his previous club came before half-time
• BVB outgoings:  Jadon Sancho, Mats Hummels, Marco Reus, and Niclas Fullkrug w
• Serhou Guirassy is expected to be out until mid-September due to a knee injury; Sebastien Haller will likely be called upon to replace Niclas Fullkrug to lead the lines
• Julian Duranville and Jaime Gittens (no longer Bynoe-Gittens) have both impressed in pre-season campaigns and will be contending for a space on the flanks. They’ll still be a problem off the bench if neither of them is confirmed as a starter

Team News Frankfurt

• Frankfurt decided to make Hugo Ekitiké’s loan move from PSG permanent; In 14 league games last season, he contributed to 6 goals (G4, A2), and he made the perfect start to this campaign by scoring twice in the Eagles’ DFB-Pokal win last week.
• Robin Koch was also signed permanently after an impressive loan season
• The Eagles also won the race for Can Uzun from Nuremburg and added exciting teenagers Oscar Højlund and Krisztián Lisztes
• Coach Dino Toppmoller may look to field a mix of experienced players and younger players and could therefore start goalkeeper Kaua dos Santos behind centre-backs Tuta and Robin Koch
