The Borussia Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt match in the 2021/2022 German League schedule will be held on Saturday (14/8/2021) at Signal Iduna Park Stadium. The first week of the Bundesliga can be watched via live streaming on Mola TV starting at 23.30 WIB.
If you refer to the head to head record, the match is predicted to be fierce. From the last 5 meetings, Dortmund and Frankfurt were both able to win 1 victory. Meanwhile, the other 3 matches ended with the same strong score.
Even so, Die Borussen had a bad record when they met Frankfrut in the Bundesliga last season. BVB was unable to win at all in 2 meetings, with details of 1 draw and 1 loss.
In fact, Dortmund's only defeat against Frankfurt occurred at home, Signal Iduna Park, in April 2021. At that time, BVB was arrested by Die Adler with a score of 1-2. Now, Erling Haaland and colleagues carry on a mission of revenge.
The capital owned by Die Borussen is quite good. BVB started the official match of the new season with a 3-0 victory over Wiesbaden in the DFB Pokal last Saturday (7/8). Haaland recorded a hat trick in that match.
"We showed very good control and looked solid when we had the ball. We were very passionate about our game with the ball," said Marco Rose, Dortmund coach. If able to maintain a good trend and win the match this weekend, Dortmund will set a historical record.
Die Borussen will extend the trend of winning streaks in the inaugural match of the Bundesliga for 8 consecutive seasons. "We need to bring consistency to our game and results and get out of the way at the weekend," added the 44-year-old coach.
On the other hand, Eintracht Frankfurt failed to start the new season with positive results. Die Adler lost in the DFB Pokal match against Mannheim with 2 goals without reply. Markus Krosche, Director of Sport Frankfurt, did not deny the disappointment over the defeat.
However, he does not want his troops to be burdened with failure in the DFB Pokal and impact on other matches. After losing at the hands of Mannheim, Eintracht Frankfurt tried to patch up weaknesses in order to perform better in the inaugural match of the Bundeliga.
"After the weekend we are working on things we can and should do better. The eyes are on Dortmund, the players are accelerating to get ready. A tough opponent awaits us," he said, quoted by the club's official website.
