Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Betting Tips: DORTMUND TO WIN

Even with a year remaining on his contract, Edin Terzic, who skillfully guided his side to an impressive UEFA Champions League final last season, chose to step down from his role, with Nuri Sahin appointed as his replacement.

Under the Turkish strategist, Dortmund presented themselves quite well in the build-up before opening their new 2024-25 competitive campaign in grand style by crushing 4th-tier side Phonix Lubeck 4-1 in the DFB Pokal first-round, with summer signing Pascal Gross quickly stood out by setting up two assists.

Although they might not have last season’s Bundesliga 2 top scorer Serhou Guirassy available for matchday one, the Black and Yellow will hold out hope for a strong start, bolstered by their impressive head-to-head record against Frankfurt, having defeated them in five of the last six encounters.

In contrast to their Saturday host, Eintracht Frankfurt had a much more demanding task in the DFB Pokal, which they handled convincingly by defeating the Zweite side Braunschweig 4-1, where new summer recruit Hugo Ekitike made a stellar impact by netting a brace in his debut appearance.

Heading into league duties, Die Adler feel uncertain about their capabilities, having endured an ugly end to last season in the Bundesliga with just one win from their final nine matches, yet lucky circumstances led to a sixth-place finish that granted them entry into the Europa League group stage.

With a miserable tally of just four wins from 17 league visits last term, it's clear that Frankfurt struggled with their road form, so we doubt they can pose a threat at Westfalenstadion, a venue where they've lost each of their last three meetings and conceded a dreadful 12 goals. With passionate and overwhelming support from the stands, there is a real chance that Sahin’s debut will be marked by success, as his Dortmund side should have more than enough quality to outclass their opponents.
