Dortmund vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips (24 August)

Borussia Dortmund is coming out of a fairly mixed season. Disappointing in the championship, he did not even finish in the top 4 of the ranking and had to settle for 5th place overall across the Rhine. On the other hand, the residents of Signal Iduna Park particularly distinguished themselves on the European scene by reaching the final of the Champions League where they were defeated by the implacable Real Madrid 2-0. Now under the orders of Nuri Sahin who replaced Edin Terzic at the head of the team, the BVB completed its summer preparation with two successes against Cerezo Osaka 2-3 and Aston Villa 2-0.
