Borussia Dortmund XI vs Eintracht Frankfurt – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund are set to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday evening, with both teams eager to clinch a spot in the competition’s last-16.

These two teams both met in the final back in 2017, which BVB won. Frankfurt did lift the trophy the following year and reached the final again in 2023 when they lost to Bayer Leverkusen.

Borussia Dortmund team news

Dortmund will once again be missing key players Emre Can and Julien Duranville, who remain sidelined through injury. Duranville recently returned to light training after his shoulder issue, but neither he nor Can will be available until after the upcoming international break. Head coach Niko Kovač has indicated he is likely to stick with the line-up that eked out a dramatic late 1-0 win over FC Köln at the weekend.

Striker Serhou Guirassy is enduring a challenging spell in front of goal following a bright start to the season. The Guinean forward has netted only once in Dortmund’s last eight outings in all competitions. Nevertheless, Kovač has shown his support, commenting: “It’s true he’s been struggling to score lately, but his work rate and commitment are never in question”.

Overall, Dortmund have been impressive this campaign, securing victories in eight of their 12 matches across all competitions. Kovač’s men needed a stoppage-time goal from Maximilian Beier to overcome Köln on Saturday, while their lone defeat this season came in a tight 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich on Matchday 7.

Borussia Dortmund predicted lineup

Possible Borussia Dortmund starting XI: Kobel; Anton, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Svensson, Nmecha, Groß, Adeyemi; Brandt, Beier; Guirassy.

When will the match kick off?

The match will kick off at 6:30pm BST on Tuesday, 28th October.
