Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt: Preview, Prediction & How to Watch on TV

Despite managing to reach the Champions League final, the 2023/24 season was an underwhelming one for Borussia Dortmund, especially in the Bundesliga. Head coach Edin Terzic left the club at the end of last season. His replacement Nuri Sahin, a club legend, certainly won’t have an easy task ahead of him. 

The Black and Yellows start the season by hosting a strong Eintracht Frankfurt side. The Eagles finished only a place behind Borussia Dortmund last season, securing Europa League qualification. They will hope to start with a positive result to improve their position this year. 

BVB have made several key signings in different areas. Sahin, however, is still hoping to solve the issue at left-back. Eintracht have also made several key transfers to bolster their squad. Signing Robin Koch and Hugo Ekitike on a permanent deal following the end of their loan spell was important for them.
