A Sports Betting Pick by Niko

Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt quickly overcame the painful loss to Liverpool in Europe, responding with a 2-0 win over St.Pauli in the Bundesliga. Striker Jonathan Burkardt scored both goals in that game and now leads the team with nine goals across all competitions.
Now they are playing their third straight home game against Borussia Dortmund, and we should expect a motivated performance from them.
Eintracht Frankfurt have scored 2+ goals in eight of their last ten games, and let's not forget that their last 8 domestic matches have produced an unbelievable 39 goals!
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund were winless in two before winning 1-0 against Koln last weekend.
They fully dominated that game, but their opponents defended with 11 players and finally broke down in the dying moments of the game, when golden substitute Maximilian Beier scored the match-winning goal for Borussia Dortmund.
Now, a rotation is expected, with Beier likely to slot into the starting lineup for this game. Coach Kovac has a full squad at his disposal for this game, so we should expect a good performance from them in the cup derby of this round.
Borussia Dortmund have played a total of seven away matches across competitions this season, losing only to Bayern Munich. They won four and drew twice, which makes them a pretty solid pick for this game.
Borussia Dortmund also has an excellent recent record against Eintracht Frankfurt, beating them four times in their most recent six duels. However, they lost on their last trip to Frankfurt 1-0 in January of this year.
The Betting Verdict
This should be an exciting and open match, and unfortunately, one of the sides will drop out of the DFB Cup so early.
Eintracht Frankfurt is not easy to beat at home, and Borussia Dortmund has a stellar away record this season. That makes it difficult to predict how everything will come out.
However, goals are easier to predict here, and I believe that we will see goals in both nets, considering how their games have gone so far this season.
The Pick :
Eintracht Frankfurt 1-2 Borussia Dortmund
FIXED ODDS BETTING TIP :
