Borussia Dortmund host Eintracht Frankfurt at Signal Iduna Park in the Bundesliga, and the Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt betting odds make the hosts heavy 1/2 favourites with 10Bet.
Dortmund sit second in the table, though back-to-back league stalemates have cost them top spot. Niko Kovac's side remain the most complete team on show here.
Eintracht Frankfurt arrive 11th, having edged past FC Köln in their most recent league outing. That was a welcome response to a 6-0 hiding by RB Leipzig.
History is firmly against the visitors. Dortmund have won 15 of their last 16 home matches against Eintracht Frankfurt in all competitions, which says plenty about this fixture.
Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Form
Dortmund are undefeated in their last eight Bundesliga matches, even if the draws have piled up lately. In the Champions League, Serhou Guirassy's brace was enough to see off Sabah FK on Tuesday night, so the striker arrives sharp. A Dortmund win would have landed 7 times in their last 10 matches against all opponents.
Frankfurt's form is patchy. A Frankfurt win would have landed only 2 times in their last 10 matches against all opponents, although they are chasing back-to-back Bundesliga wins after the Köln result. Jonathan Burkardt is their main outlet, with 3+ shots attempted in four of his previous five top-flight outings.

Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Dortmund to take the points in an open, messy game. This prediction backs the hosts, who are 1/2 with 10Bet, because their attack should have too much for a fragile Frankfurt back line. Projections put the total at 3.81 goals with Frankfurt still getting on the scoresheet, so this looks anything but a stubborn, low-scoring affair.
Best Bets
Over 3.5 goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. The model projects a high-scoring game at Signal Iduna Park. The AI probability for Over 3.5 sits at 52.78%, above the implied probability of the best price, and Dortmund have seen over 2.5 goals in 11 of their last 12 home matches against Eintracht Frankfurt in all competitions. Frankfurt are poor at defending counter-attacks and set pieces, which plays straight into Dortmund's hands.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Dortmund are expected to score freely, and a leaky Frankfurt defence should still find a goal. The AI probability for both teams scoring is 66.45%, and both teams have scored in 7 of the last 10 meetings between the sides in the Bundesliga. Frankfurt carry enough goal threat through Burkardt and Doan to nick one of their own.
Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Bet Builder
This bet builder for the fixture combines Raphael Onyedika to be carded, Serhou Guirassy over 1.5 shots, Jonathan Burkardt to score anytime and over 3.5 goals.
Raphael Onyedika has picked up a card in 3 of his last 4 Bundesliga appearances, and an aggressive Dortmund side will give the Frankfurt midfielder plenty of running to do.
Serhou Guirassy has managed 2+ shots in each of his last 6 Bundesliga outings. Against a Frankfurt defence that struggles to stop opponents creating, over 1.5 shots looks sound.
Jonathan Burkardt has found the net in 3 of his last 5 Bundesliga appearances, and on 2 occasions from his last 3 against Borussia Dortmund in the competition. He is Frankfurt's best route to goal.
There have been 4+ goals in 5 of the last 7 meetings between these sides in the Bundesliga, so over 3.5 goals rounds off a build that leans on goals at both ends.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 14/1 and is as short as 21/2 elsewhere.

Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Talking Points
The key battle is Dortmund's counter-attacking threat against a Frankfurt side that rate poorly at stopping opponents creating and at protecting a lead, which is why the best bets above lean on goals. Frankfurt also have upheaval off the pitch, with board member for sport Markus Krösche stepping down after requesting a release from his contract. Hardly ideal timing before a trip like this. Their hope lies with Younes Ebnoutalib, who has scored five goals in his opening six Bundesliga appearances this season and gives Hütter a genuine outlet if Dortmund leave gaps.
