The German Bundesliga returns to action on Saturday afternoon and one of the biggest games of the weekend takes place at Signal-Iduna-Park as Borussia Dortmund meet Eintracht Frankfurt.
The hosts begin the weekend in 5th place on 43 points while the visitors are one place above them on 47 points, so this is a huge match.
This is a vital game for Borussia Dortmund as they attempt to qualify for the Champions League next season. They come into the match having been held to a 2-2 draw at Koln prior to the international break.
Borussia Dortmund required a last minute equaliser to take a point and they have been struggling to win games consistently in the Bundesliga for some time.
Borussia Dortmund have picked up only 5 wins from their last 11 Bundesliga fixtures and that is not good enough for a team who were expecting to challenge at the top this season.
However, Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in each of their last 8 home matches in all competitions and are undefeated in 33 of their last 37 home games in all competitions.
At least one goal has been scored by Borussia Dortmund in all of their last 36 matches in all competitions and they have found the back of the net at least twice in each of their last 6 Bundesliga games. That includes each of their last 4 at home.
Eintracht Frankfurt come into the game having recorded an excellent 5-2 home victory over Union Berlin last time out.
That was their third successive Bundesliga match without defeat having previously picked up a point against Stuttgart at home and RB Leipzig away, the latter of which was a good result.
Away form in the Bundesliga shows Eintracht Frankfurt are difficult to beat recently and they have remained undefeated in 6 of their last 7 league games on the road.
Trends show both teams have scored in Eintracht Frankfurt's last 6 away matches in all competitions, included each of their last 5 away games in the Bundesliga.
Eintracht Frankfurt have scored at least one goal in each of their last 22 matches in all competitions and will be feeling confident about finding the back of the net in this fixture.
Looking ahead to the team news and Borussia Dortmund are without several players due to injury, including Youssoufa Moukoko, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Mateu Morey, Jadon Sancho, Axel Witsel, and Marcel Schmelzer.
Eintracht Frankfurt are without suspended defender Makoto Hasebe. Ragnar Ache, Jabez Makanda, Martin Hinteregger, and Almamy Toure are injured.
We expect to see plenty of goals in this game, with both teams finding the back of the net plus over 2.5 goals scored. In terms of the result, it is difficult to split the teams and we could see this match end level.
