The scenario: the Black&Yellows have lost only one of their last 23 of their 23 Bundesliga matches across the seasons (on matchday 7 with a 2-1 loss in Munich). This was followed by an eight game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga without a loss (five wins, three draws). Their current record of 32 points from 15 games, is their best in years. A year ago, they had only 25 points at this stage. Frankfurt also have 25 after 15 matchdays and are seventh in the table. They have won only one of their last six competitive matches, a 1-0 win over FC Augsburg in their most recent home game on Matchday 15.

Head-to-head record: BVB have won 51 Bundesliga matches against Eintracht and have also scored the most goal against them (202). Of their last 17 Bundesliga matches against Frankfurt, they lost only two: 1-2 in Dortmund on matchday 27 in the 2020/21 season, and 2-0 last season Frankfurt. Borussa have beaten Eintracht Frankfurt eleven times after being behind 1-0, which is more often than against any other club.

Statistics: Eintracht conceded 30 goals against in the first 15 matchdays (only Heidenheim have conceded more) – the highest number at this stage of the season in 41 years. Eintracht Frankfurt have already conceded eleven goals this season after losing possession. Borussia have concede 12 goals. They last conceded so few goals after 15 matchdays in 2010/11 (nine) and 2011/12 (ten).

Last season: BVB showed commitment, hitting the post in the ninth minute through Serhou Guirassy, and then conceded a goal by Hugo Etikite (18). After the break, Dortmund pressed for the equaliser, with Guirassy just missing Coutos' sharp cross and the potential 1-1 (59), but conceding a second goal in stoppage time after a Frankfurter counter attack, finished off by Højlund.

Biggest away win: BVB beat Eintracht twice with 4-0 in Frankfurt. On 6. June 1981,  Werner Schneider, Atli Edvaldsson and Rüdiger Abramczik, scored between the 12th and 17th minute, to give BVB an early lead. Exactly half an hour in, Hans-Joachim Wagner scored the 4-0 in front of 13.000 spectators. Six years later, on 17 June 1987, there were only 20.000 fans in the stadium, of which the great majority were supporting Dortmund who witnessed late goals by Norbert Dickel (60), Ingo Anderbrügge (63) and Frank Mill (88/89). This win extended BVB's win over Werder Bremen, who finished level in points, securing them the fourth place in the 1986/87 season, one year after narrowly escaping relegation.By Boris Rupert
