"Best odds: 1/1 Bookmaker: Luckster Borussia Dortmund's hopes of mounting a serious challenge to Bayern Munich could take a fatal hit if they falter against Eintracht Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Park on Friday. The visitors sit second with 32 points after a 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach before the winter break, but they remain nine points adrift of Bayern. Meanwhile, seventh-placed Frankfurt have 25 points and trail the top four by four points, making this a pivotal clash for both sides."
"The winter break arguably came at the wrong time for Frankfurt, who had begun to steady the ship with a win and a draw before the pause. Their last outing ended in a 1-1 draw against newly-promoted Hamburg, a result that underlined their attacking struggles despite improved resilience. Prior to that, Dino Toppmöller's men endured a poor run of three defeats in four matches, but overall, they have lost just once in their last nine Bundesliga games, winning four in that span."
"Still, goals have been hard to come by: Frankfurt have scored only four times in their last six matches and have managed more than one goal in a game just once across their previous 11 in all competitions. Defensively, the Eagles have been vulnerable, conceding 30 goals-better only than the league's bottom two. Yet, their home form offers hope: unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga fixtures at Deutsche Bank Park, with three wins in that sequence."
Borussia Dortmund sit second with 32 points after a pre-break 2-0 win over Borussia Monchengladbach but remain nine points behind Bayern Munich. Eintracht Frankfurt are seventh with 25 points and trail the top four by four points. Frankfurt showed some resilience before the break but struggle for goals, scoring only four times in their last six matches and exceeding one goal in a game only once across 11 fixtures. Defensively the team has conceded 30 goals, though they are unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga home games. Dortmund enter unbeaten in eight league matches, seeking a sixth win in nine.
