Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction 24.10.2026 | Bundesliga

Competing with Bayern Munich is extremely hard in the Bundesliga, but if any team can do that, it is Borussia Dortmund. After the first six league rounds, both sides sit atop the table with 14 points. Borussia Dortmund started the 2026/27 campaign in excellent form, but they have slowed lately, with only one win in their last four matches across all competitions. The only win came on Tuesday, when Niko Kovac's team beat Sabah 2-1. The visitors took all three points, but their efficiency wasn't at its best and needs to improve.

Borussia's head coach, Niko Kovac, was satisfied after a victory in Baku. He stated, "We played a really good attacking game today and created a lot of chances. If we had even capitalized on half of them, we no doubt would have won by three or four goals. We made small mistakes here and there, which allowed our opponent back into the game. It was a tough battle, but totally deserved."

Borussia Dortmund have problems with missing players. They will be without Emre Can, Giannis Konstantelias, Konstantinos Karetsas, and Justin Lerma, while Samuele Kaba is questionable.

After only eighth place in the Bundesliga last season, Eintracht Frankfurt is expected to return among the best teams in the competition. Instead, Eintracht Frankfurt collected only eight points in six matches and are looking more like a mid-table team. After just one point in the first two rounds, Adi Hutter's team has looked slightly better lately, with only one defeat in their last four matches. In the most recent outing, Eintracht Frankfurt won 1-0 at home against FC Koln.

Adi Hutter was very satisfied after a victory in the previous Bundesliga round. He commented, "Full credit to the entire team and in particular to Robin Koch – he showed what he's capable of. I saw a team that ran together, supported one another, pushed and fought, and that's the most important thing. Everyone in Frankfurt can be proud."

Jessic Ngankam and Malik Pimpong are injured and will not travel to Dortmund. Also, Oscar Hojlund and Nnamdi Collins are questionable and their status will get clearer closer to the kickoff.
