BVB vs Eintracht Frankfurt: predicted line-ups | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund will play their last home game of the 2025/26 season against Eintracht Frankfurt. Kick-off is on Friday at 8:30 p.m. Some players are available again for BVB after time out injured, so changes to the starting XI are quite possible. Here is BVB’s expected lineup against SGE, as well as their likely starting XI.

Today, the news of Niklas Süle’s retirement is dominating the media attention around BVB. For tomorrow’s match, however, this will have no impact, as he is still unavailable and therefore will not get a farewell appearance in front of “his” fans in Dortmund. Alongside Süle, these three other players will also miss the game against Frankfurt:

If kicker is correct with its prediction, Julian Brandt would also not be in the starting XI for his final chance to play a home game in Dortmund, as the lineup is expected to be as follows:

Gregor Kobel – Luca Reggiani, Waldemar Anton, Niklas Schlotterbeck – Julian Ryerson, Marcel Sabitzer, Jobe Bellingham, Daniel Svensson – Fabio Silva, Maximilian Beier – Serhou Guirassy

In recent weeks, though, Brandt has usually come off the bench, which is also likely to be the case against SGE. Beier or Silva, both of whom are expected to start, would then probably make way for him.

Will Kovac give Brandt a “farewell game” in Dortmund?

These three players are missing for the visitors:

Eintracht, who are still playing for their exact finishing position and therefore a possible place in European competition, could start at BVB with this lineup:

Michael Zetterer – Aurele Amenda, Ellyes Skhiri, Robin Koch, Nathaniel Brown – Hugo Larsson – Ritso Doan, Can Uzun, Oscar Höjlund, Arnaud Kalimuendo – Jonathan Burkardt

Of course, BVB are considered the favorites in a match at Signal Iduna Park. This status is reflected quite clearly by the bookmakers as well. The odds for a home win are 1.49. The odds for a win by the visitors range between 5.20 and 5.60.

In the first half of the season, these two clubs played out a high-scoring 3-3 draw in Frankfurt. Before that, BVB had knocked Eintracht out of the DFB-Pokal at home, winning 2-1 there. Last season, both clubs won their respective home games 2-0.
