German Bundesliga
2026-10-24 - Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt
A Sports Betting Pick by Niko
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Signal Iduna Park – Dortmund
Saturday, 24th October 2026 - kickoff 18:30 CET
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund started the season with four straight Bundesliga wins, but their momentum has stalled. They drew 2-2 with Werder Bremen and 0-0 at Union Berlin before losing 1-0 away to Bodo-Glimt in the UEFA Champions League. Coach Niko Kovac will want a sharper attacking display, particularly with Serhou Guirassy leading the line.
Borussia Dortmund's defense remains their strongest asset. They have conceded just four goals in six Bundesliga matches and kept four clean sheets. The concern is the schedule: Tuesday's UEFA Champions League trip to Sabah FK in Azerbaijan means another long journey before Saturday's game.
Emre Can, Konstantinos Karetsas, Giannis Konstantelias and Javi Lerma are listed as unavailable. Karetsas is out with a foot ligament injury, while Can and Konstantelias remain long-term absentees. Rotation here is very likely after the midweek European trip.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt have no European obligations, but their season is far from rosy.
They ended their winless home run with a narrow 1-0 victory over Köln last weekend. Younes Ebnoutalib scored his fifth Bundesliga goal of the season, making him the obvious player for Borussia Dortmund to watch.
However, Eintracht Frankfurt got nailed 6-0 by RB Leipzig in their last away game, and their defensive problems are still obvious.
Jessic Ngankam and Ayoube Pimpong are unavailable, with Oscar Hojlund doubtful. Robin Koch is expected to captain the defense.
The Betting Verdict
The head-to-head record favors Borussia Dortmund: they have won 14 of their last 15 home Bundesliga meetings with Eintracht Frankfurt.
Also, Borussia Dortmund won all of the last 5 Bundesliga duels played in Dortmund, with a superb goal difference of 17:5!
Borussia Dortmund have been much more convincing than Eintracht Frankfurt so far, with 4 clean sheets in 6 Bundesliga games, while Eintracht Frankfurt average 3 goals conceded per match and barely beat Köln last weekend.
Take the home win for Borussia Dortmund at fair odds.
