📈 Eintracht Frankfurt v Dortmund Form & Stats

Knauff did score the first goal of the game against the Catalans, but his side were on the end of a 2-1 defeat, succumbing to their fourth Champions League loss of the season. The Eagles have struggled in Europe so far, with just four points after six games. 

While they have fared better in the league, Frankfurt were disappointingly held to a 1-1 draw against a struggling Hamburg side just before the break. Dino Toppmoller’s side had the lions’ share of possession and created the better chances, but were unable to find the decisive goal. Frankfurt missed an opportunity there to leapfrog Stuttgart into sixth, but they are still just four points off the Champions League spots. 

Dortmund find themselves seven points better off than their opponents on Friday night, coming into this clash on a four-game unbeaten streak. They were completely dominant against Borussia Monchengladbach just before the break, cruising to a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Julian Brandt and Max Beier. 

The Black and Yellows managed just 10 shots in that game, but they were of a high-quality nature, amounting to 1.43xG. In return, the visitors managed just six shots worth 0.28xG, with just one of those hitting the target

📔 Eintracht Frankfurt v Dortmund Formation & Team News

Jobe Bellingham will serve the final game of his suspension here, and Ramy Bensebaini is away on international duty, but Niko Kovac should otherwise have a full squad of players to choose from.

Waldemar Anton and Aaron Anselmino have been struggling with injuries, but should be pushing to start, meaning Niklas Sule’s position in the back three is under threat. Pascal Gross has re-joined Brighton, so Marcel Sabitzer should return to midfield alongside Felix Nmecha, while Serhou Guirassy looks set to lead the line. 

Arthur Theate missed out against Hamburg due to suspension, but should return to the defensive line for Frankfurt on Friday night. Can Uzun has also been building up his fitness since returning from injury, and could start his first game since the start of November.

The Turkish international began the season in electric form, bagging in six successive matches, so will hope to re-discover that scoring touch.
