Team Reviews
Eintracht Frankfurt head into this DFB-Pokal Second Round clash at Deutsche Bank Park, Frankfurt, on October 28, 2025, in inconsistent form, sitting 6th in the Bundesliga with 13 points from 8 matches (4 wins, 1 draw, 3 losses). Their recent form includes a 2-0 Bundesliga win over St. Pauli, with Jonathan Burkardt scoring twice, but a 5-1 Champions League loss to Liverpool. In the DFB-Pokal, they eased past FV Engers 5-0 in the first round, with goals from Jean-Mattéo Bahoya, Ritsu Dōan, Elye Wahi, and Paxten Aaronson. At home, Frankfurt have struggled, losing 3 of their last 4 games (4-3 to Union Berlin, 3-0 to Bayern Munich, 5-1 to Liverpool). Coach Dino Toppmöller’s 4-2-3-1 relies on Burkardt’s finishing (6 goals in 7 Bundesliga games) and Hugo Ekitiké’s flair. Elias Baum and Oscar Højlund are out (injuries). Frankfurt will aim to leverage their home crowd to end a three-game home losing streak and upset Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund are in strong form, sitting 4th in the Bundesliga with 17 points from 8 matches (5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss). Their recent form includes a 1-0 DFB-Pokal win over Rot-Weiss Essen (Serhou Guirassy) and a 2-1 Champions League win at Copenhagen, though they lost 2-1 to Bayern Munich. In the Pokal, they’ve scored 5 goals and conceded 1 in their first-round win. Away form is solid, with 3 wins in 4 Bundesliga road games. Coach Niko Kovač’s 3-4-2-1 relies on Guirassy’s finishing (5 goals across competitions) and Jamie Gittens’s pace. Serhou Guirassy, Yan Couto, Emre Can, and Julien Duranville are out (injuries). Dortmund will focus on quick transitions and defensive solidity to advance to the Round of 16.
Head to Head
As shown in the sports card above, Dortmund have dominated recent encounters, winning 6 of the last 8 against Frankfurt (2 draws), scoring 22 goals to Frankfurt’s 11. Their last DFB-Pokal meeting was the 2017 final, with Dortmund winning 2-1 (Ousmane Dembélé, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang). At Deutsche Bank Park, Dortmund have won 3 of their last 5 visits, with 1 draw. Matches average 3.3 goals, with both teams scoring in 63% of the last 8 games. Frankfurt’s 2-0 win on January 17, 2025, and Dortmund’s 3-1 victory in March 2024 highlight the fixture’s competitiveness.
Prediction
Dortmund’s strong away form (3 wins in 4) and historical edge (6 wins in 8) make them favorites, despite Frankfurt’s home advantage and recent Bundesliga win. Frankfurt’s defensive frailties (2 clean sheets in 12 games) face Dortmund’s potent attack, but injuries could limit BVB’s depth. I predict a 2-1 Dortmund win, with Gittens and Karim Adeyemi scoring, and Burkardt replying for Frankfurt. Dortmund’s win probability is around 55%, reflecting their 2-1 Copenhagen win and Frankfurt’s 5-1 Liverpool loss. Expect Dortmund to edge possession (around 52%) and corners (6-8), with Frankfurt threatening on counters. This knockout clash will be tight, with Dortmund aiming for the Round of 16 and Frankfurt seeking a cup upset.
