Comparative Team Statistics: Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt

A history of close, entertaining meetings

Across 20 recorded meetings going back to 2017, this fixture has produced plenty of draws, including a 3-3 in Frankfurt this January and a 1-1 cup tie there last October. The most recent match, back in May, went 3-2 to Dortmund at home.

Wins have gone both ways over the years, and games between these two rarely look like formalities, whatever form either side is in beforehand.

History suggests this one doesn't always follow current league position.

Where each side stands so far

Dortmund are top of the table after four games, with four wins out of four and just two goals conceded. Frankfurt sit down in tenth, on five points from a win, two draws and a defeat, having already shipped ten goals in that short span.

It's a tiny sample at this stage of the season, but the early gap between the two is stark on paper.

Four games isn't much to go on, but Dortmund's defensive numbers stand out early.

Attacking threats and cards to watch

In the recent sample, Frankfurt's Y. Ebnoutalib has scored four times in four matches, with J. Burkardt adding three, so their forward line has clearly had goals in it. For Dortmund, S. Guirassy has two goals and two assists in four matches, with F. Nmecha also on two goals.
