January 9, 2025 | Deutsche Bank Park | Bundesliga | 19:30 GMT

Frankfurt and Dortmund face off in this Bundesliga clash, with Frankfurt looking to lift themselves back into the European spots following a dip in form of late and Dortmund looking to keep up their solid run of form as they try to do anything to put the imperious Bayern under pressure.

This game does fall as the first for both after the Bundesliga's winter break, meaning this isn't as easy as it might have been to predict, and it could be a case of who blows the cobwebs from their legs quickest in this fixture.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund Current Form and Standings

Frankfurt currently sit 7th in the Bundesliga with 25 points from their 15 games thus far. The winter break was a welcome one, though, with a poor run of form in the buildup seeing them drop from the European places and fail to make any meaningful headway in their Champions League quest.

Dortmund currently sit in 2nd place but are nine points off Bayern, who already look uncatchable this season. The pre-break form was solid for Dortmund, with the only disappointment coming in the form of a DFB Pokal knockout at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen.
