Dortmund – Eintracht

Borussia will surely handle Eintracht at home.

Borussia Dortmund has had an incomparably better season than the previous one. If in the last championship the Bees had to claw out fourth place on the final round of the standings and the accompanying ticket to the Champions League, then in this Bundesliga campaign Niko Kovac's side has long since settled all questions about the league standings. They could not compete on equal terms with Bayern Munich, which is playing insane football, but they have long since locked in a solid second place. At the same time, this is about the practical aspect. Mathematically, the question of the runner-up medals can be decided on Friday, when Eintracht arrives in Dortmund. The Frankfurt club, after finishing third last year, flopped in the Champions League and could not be competitive in the German Cup and the Bundesliga. The visitors still have something to play for in the standings, since they are only one point behind seventh place. There sits Freiburg, preparing for the first European final in its history. Bookmakers have made the hosts the favorites for the upcoming match, offering odds of 1.50 on their victory. The main motivating factor for Dortmund in Friday's clash is the home venue. The match with Eintracht will be the Bees' final of the current season in front of their own fans. Despite the lack of serious league motivation, going into the off-season with a home defeat would be disrespectful to the 80,000 fans who come to the stadium in Dortmund. In the last home match Dortmund routed Freiburg 4-0. A particularly motivating factor will be the Bees' inability to beat Eintracht in regular time in the last three meetings, held in 2025-2026. Unlike their opponent, the Frankfurt club has something to fight for in the Bundesliga, but they do so very weakly. In the last three rounds, Albert Riery's charges lost to Leipzig and Hamburg, and drew with Augsburg. In eight past Bundesliga matches, Eintracht have managed to win only against the rather weak Heidenheim and Wolfsburg. Let's place a bet on the home side to win.
