Borussia Dortmund take on the visitors Eintracht Frankfurt in the round 26 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Sunday, February 17th at Signal Iduna Park (Dortmund).
Borussia Dortmund are trailing RB Leipzig by two points in the battle for the top 4 in the league championship. However, the Bulls have already played their match in the round, while the Bees have a game in reserve against Eintracht. Dortmund approaches this match in excellent spirits. In their last two Bundesliga matches, they defeated Union (2-0) and Werder (2-1), and then triumphed over PSV in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16, entering the top eight strongest teams in Europe. Apart from a stumble against Hoffenheim, Dortmund have been very confident at home in the new calendar year: victories against Bochum (3-1) and Freiburg (3-0). Against the visitors from Frankfurt, the Bees are also favorites.

But I wouldn't be surprised by a draw in Dortmund on this Saturday evening. Yes, Eintracht trails Dortmund by 7 points in the table, but in their last ten league matches, the Eagles have suffered only one defeat. In the two previous rounds, just like their opponents, Dino Topmöller's charges also secured victories: against Heidenheim (2-1) and Hoffenheim (3-1). Moreover, in three consecutive matches, the Eagles played draws with their opponents: against Bochum (1-1), Wolfsburg (2-2), and Freiburg (3-3). I can very well imagine that Eintracht will take away at least one point from Dortmund, but no more than that.
Matches between Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt are, for the most part, a goal fest. In the last six such encounters, there were at least three goals scored in each. In the last five encounters, Borussia Dortmund have collected at least one point: 5-2, 2-1, 3-2, 4-0, 3-3. I believe that the Bees will not lose this time either. They are a very uncomfortable opponent for the Eagles, whom Frankfurt managed to defeat in only one of their previous 15 meetings. As for the bet on Over 2.5 goals, it has succeeded in 15 matches involving the hosts and in 14 matches involving the visitors over the course of 25 rounds of the current championship. My prediction are 1X + Over 2.5.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund not to lose and Over 2.5 scored goals.
