Injury plagued Borussia Dortmund travel to Eintracht Frankfurt: Match Preview

Borussia Dortmund will be looking to return to winning ways this weekend as they go up against Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.

After failing to win their last two games, Borussia Dortmund will be under immense pressure going into this weekend’s game against Eintracht Frankfurt. With title rivals Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig going up against each other, the Black and Yellows will know that anything other than a win on Saturday would be a bad result. But beating Eintracht Frankfurt certainly won’t be an easy task, especially with all the injuries in the Dortmund camp.

Eintracht Frankfurt’s last win came two months ago, but they have drawn their last four matches. Add Hütter’s side earned a 3-3 draw despite going two goals down early on against Union Berlin last weekend. A 5-0 loss to Bayern Munich is the Eagles’ only defeat of the season so far. They always play with great resolve and discipline, making them very hard to beat. And they will certainly not make things easy for Lucien Favre’s side on Saturday.

Borussia Dortmund suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to FC Köln last weekend and followed it up with a draw at home against Lazio in the Champions League. And to make matters worse, the effect of playing every three days is taking its toll, with six injuries occurring in the last ten days alone. Der BVB are currently in fourth place in the Bundesliga table, four points behind Bayern Munich. And they will know that they cannot afford to drop any further behind this early in the title race.
