Team news

 Dortmund’s Pascal Gross remains suspended following his red card against Wolfsburg and Niclas Sule is a long-term absentee with an ankle injury.

Donyell Malen has moved to Aston Villa, while Karim Adeyemi is a doubt through illness.

Aurele Amenda remains out for Frankfurt, but barring that the home side have a clean bill of health.

Omar Marmoush has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester City, but played and scored in midweek so may well feature again in this game.

 Match odds, Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund

Frankfurt can be backed at 11/10 for the victory, while Dortmund are 21/10 outsiders and the draw is available at 3/1.

Over 2.5 goals is on offer at 4/9, while both teams to score is priced at 2/5 and it is 6/5 for over 1.5 goals in the first half.

Eintracht Frankfurt @ 11/10

Dortmund’s problems have shown no signs of abating and their midweek 4-2 defeat to strugglers Holsten Kiel has further heightened the pressure on manager Nuri Sahin.

BVB’s away form has been dismal this term, they have taken just five points from a possible 24 on the road and this trip to Frankfurt looks like a tough one.

The home team have won five of their eight games in their own back yard and were at their fluent attacking best with a 4-1 win over Freiburg on Tuesday.

Only Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen have scored more than Frankfurt’s total of 40 in 17 games and they could take advantage of this porous Dortmund backline to further heighten the pressure on Sahin.

Hugo Ekitike to score at anytime @ 8/5

Man City target Marmoush has taken the plaudits this season, but former Paris Saint-Germain star Hugo Ekitike has been a major factor in Frankfurt’s success this season too.

The 22-year-old has 12 goals in 21 starts in all competitions and his playing style perfectly compliments the creativity of his strike partner.
