Eintracht Frankfurt take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund in the round 18 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, January 17th at Deutsche Bank Park (Frankfurt).
Eintracht Frankfurt are trying to hold on to the positions they won last season. After several frankly mediocre years, the Eagles managed to collect 47 points in 2023/2024, which was enough for sole 6th place. Thus, Dino Topmöller's charges returned to the Europa League, where, having started with a draw against Viktoria Plzen, they then won four times in a row. But even there, in December, there was a 2-3 defeat to Lyon. There was also a decline in the domestic arena. The fight for the cup ended in a crushing 0-3 with RB Leipzig. And in the Bundesliga, having ended with a couple of defeats, they went on vacation still in 3rd place. But now Marmus, who has 13 goals and 7 assists in the German championship alone, is clearly packing his bags. In January, there was an away win against St. Pauli, and they smashed Freiburg 4-1.

Borussia (Dortmund) reached the Champions League final last season. But they still lost to Real Madrid, and in the domestic arena they fell from the leading position to 5th place, eventually falling behind even RB Leipzig. It was lucky that the Germans were given an additional ticket to the Champions League in 2024. And the Bumblebees are playing there, with their updated roster and Nuri Sahin - the ex-footballer, who returned a year ago, became the head coach in the summer. They are doing well in the European Cup, they only lost to a couple of Spanish giants (and in Madrid they were leading 2-0, although in the end they lost 2-5). But at the same time, the ambitious team lost to Wolfsburg in the cup in the fall. And, most importantly, in the Bundesliga, the lion's share of the draw was very noticeably dependent on the "field factor". After the break, they lost, conceding a lot, not only to the champion "Bayer", but also to the newcomer "Holstein".
In the last 7 head-to-head matches, only once, in the fall of 2023, the "bumblebees" gave up a draw to the opponent, winning all the others. Including at the end of August, they won 2-0 at home. The "Eagles" are already stronger, and the guests are clearly in crisis. We bet that the host side will manage to win.
Prediction for the match: Eintracht Frankfurt to win.
