Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund meet this Friday at Deutsche Bank Park as the Bundesliga returns from its brief winter hiatus for a high-stakes Matchday 16 clash. The Eagles enter the new year looking to find their footing after an inconsistent close to 2025, having managed just one victory in their last five competitive outings.
Currently sitting in seventh place with 25 points, Dino Toppmöller's side has been a statistical anomaly this season, boasting a perfectly balanced record of 30 goals scored and 30 conceded. While their home form remains a source of strength—highlighted by recent results at the Waldstadion—their defensive lapses were laid bare in a disappointing 1-1 draw against Hamburger SV just before the break. Conversely, Borussia Dortmund has been a model of efficiency and discipline under the guidance of Niko Kovač.
Sitting comfortably in second place, the Black and Yellows have lost only once in the league all season and recently bolstered their title credentials with a professional 2-0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Borussia Dortmund' superior league position and defensive organization make them a difficult wall for a depleted Frankfurt attack to scale.

Our Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund both enter this fixture dealing with notable roster challenges that could dictate the tactical flow of the match. Frankfurt's attacking depth has been significantly compromised over the past two weeks, as star striker Jonathan Burkardt remains sidelined with a persistent injury, joining Michy Batshuayi and Timothy Chandler in the treatment room. The absence of Burkardt, who was vital to their early-season efficiency, places a massive burden on young talents like Can Uzun and Ritsu Doan to provide the creative spark.
On the other side, Dortmund will have to navigate this trip without the suspended Jobe Bellingham, while defenders Waldemar Anton and Aaron Anselmino are also expected to miss out through injury. Despite these absences, Dortmund's recent individual performances have been stellar; Nico Schlotterbeck has been a titan in a defense that has kept a league-high eight clean sheets, while Serhou Guirassy remains a constant threat in the final third.
While the Eagles are notoriously difficult to beat in front of their home fans, the psychological edge belongs to the visitors, who have historically dominated this matchup and recently knocked Frankfurt out of the DFB-Pokal. Ultimately, the quality and depth of the Dortmund squad should see them maintain their pursuit of the top spot. Our prediction for Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Borussia Dortmund: Under 3.5 goals.
