Prediction

  • At first glance this looks like a home banker but BVB have lost 10 times this season. They are 19 points behind league leaders Bayern and are now fighting to secure a top four finish.
  • Dortmund have scored in 40 games in a row in all comps and showed their genuine quality over two intriguing Champions League games against Manchester City.
  • Now that Frankfurt know they are losing their manager at the end of the season, Dortmund should sense blood to chase down the current four-point deficit to fourth.
  • Erling Haaland ended a seven-game run without a goal at the weekend with a brace to put Dortmund in confident mood heading here.
