Current Form (Last 5 Matches)
Dortmund have scored 10 goals in their last five matches and hold the most clean sheets in the entire Bundesliga this season — an impressive 14. Their last outing was a dominant 4–0 demolition of Freiburg. They did slip to Hoffenheim and Leverkusen recently, but overall the momentum at Signal Iduna Park feels positive.
Frankfurt, on the other hand, are showing cracks. Eintracht have scored 7 goals in their last five matches but haven’t kept a clean sheet in six games — a stat that should worry their travelling supporters heading into Dortmund.

Key Players to Watch
Julian Ryerson ranks 3rd in the entire Bundesliga for big chances created this season with 19 — a criminally underrated stat for a right-back. Keep your eye on him.
Ritsu Doan leads Eintracht Frankfurt in big chances created with 12 — the Japanese winger will be Frankfurt’s primary danger man and their best hope of unlocking BVB’s rock-solid backline.
| Player | Club | Key Stat |
|---|---|---|
| Julian Ryerson | Dortmund | 3rd in Bundesliga for big chances created (19) |
| Ritsu Doan | Frankfurt | Most big chances created for Frankfurt (12) |
Our Prediction
Dortmund at home, with 14 clean sheets and a team firing on all cylinders? Frankfurt’s leaky defence — no clean sheet in six — makes this look like a home banker. Expect BVB to control proceedings from the first whistle.
