THE PREDICTION
The injury to top scorer Erling Haaland leaves a big hole for Borussia Dortmund coach Lucien Favre to fill for the rest of the year, although there is no shortage of other players in the squad who know where the back of the net is. Frankfurt is somewhere Dortmund have struggled in the past – they are winless in their last six visits to Deutsche Bank Park. As for the hosts, they drew for the fourth time in a row last weekend as they again came from behind after a disastrous start against Union Berlin. Eintracht have gained more points from losing positions than anyone else in the Bundesliga this term, scoring first in just three of their nine games. So, while the visitors are likely to open the scoring – even without Haaland – that is by no means a guarantee they will go on to win.
