Team news and form
Dortmund are unbeaten in the league this season (W4, D2) and beat Sabah Baku in the Champions League on Tuesday, but they have drawn their last two Bundesliga games. Three league games without a win would be a first under Niko KovaÄŤ. They start this round level on points with leaders Bayern Munich, whom they face next week. Their defence has been key: four goals conceded and four clean sheets are both league-best figures, and they have scored at least twice in all four home games (W3, D1).
Frankfurt needed a response after a 6-0 defeat to Leipzig on matchday five and got one with a 1-0 win over Cologne last Friday, their first league clean sheet since March. They are in the bottom half having conceded 16 goals, and have not won back-to-back league games since November. Their away games have been entertaining, producing 16 goals in three (W1, D1, L1), although they conceded ten of them.
Daniel Svensson scored the opener in Dortmund’s last home game, his third successive goal at Signal Iduna Park to arrive after the 75th minute. Raphael Onyedika has been booked in four of Frankfurt’s six league games, including all three on the road. Konstantinos Karetsas is out for Dortmund, while Frankfurt’s Nnamdi Collins suffered a foot injury against Cologne.
Head-to-head – Previous meetings
- Dortmund have beaten Frankfurt 52 times in the Bundesliga, more than any other opponent
- Dortmund have won 14 of the last 15 league meetings they hosted (L1)
- Frankfurt have won just twice at Dortmund in the Bundesliga since 1991
The history is heavily in Dortmund’s favour, and it matches this season’s form.
Why we’re backing it
The case is Dortmund’s home scoring and Frankfurt’s away defending. Dortmund have scored at least twice in 15 of their last 16 home league games and have not lost a second half this season (W3, D3), while Frankfurt have lost their last three Saturday-evening Bundesliga games, conceding 15 goals and scoring once. A two-goal margin is a realistic target, and 2.10 on the -1 handicap is better value than the win at 1.50. For more picks in this market, see our handicap predictions.
The risk is a one-goal win or Frankfurt scoring. Frankfurt have scored six goals in their three away league games, with Younes Ebnoutalib a regular threat. A 1-0 or 2-1 Dortmund win would give a handicap draw and lose this bet. If you want cover, Dortmund to win at 1.50 covers the same story, and over 3.5 goals at 1.85 is the other route into a high-scoring game.
