Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction

Eintracht Frankfurt are currently 6th in the league, and have won four of their last five league games. Serbia international Filip Kostic has once again stood out with his performances, with the 29-year old producing six league assists this season playing predominantly as a left wing-back.

???? Oliver Glasner’s pre-match presser:

“We want to show that we’re closer to @BlackYellow than we were in the reverse fixture. But we have to prove that on Saturday. I have great respect for the opponents and their coach Marco Rose.”
