Borussia Dortmund vs. Eintracht Frankfurt preview: Visitors out to keep European hopes alive Borussia Dortmund: In the penultimate round of Bundesliga games before the 2025-26 season comes to it's end, Borussia Dortmund take on Eintracht Frankfurt on Matchday 33. The Friday night fixture at a floodlit and atmospheric Westfalenstadion will kick-off at 20:30 CET.

While the mood may not be great around Dortmund at the minute, the hosts will be eager to finish their final home fixture on a high. Last weekend's late 1-0 loss to Borussia Mönchengladbach made it a third defeat in four games for the Ruhrpott side. Perhaps what's more concerning from BVB's point of view is the lack of urgency.

Niko Kovač's side only managed six shots with a solitary effort on target at Borussia Park. Although it could be argued that Dortmund have little left to play for aside from pride. Perhaps this final home game is somewhat fitting, taking on another out-of-sorts team in Frankfurt.

Their off-field troubles should give Dortmund confidence against a side who they have beaten 13 times from their last 15 games against the Hessen club on home soil. Team news: Once again, Emre Can (ACL tear) is out, while Ramy Bensebaini's (ankle) season also appears to be over. Both of Niklas Süle and Felix Nmecha could also miss out due to fitness issues after injury, but they could feature if that status changes in time.
