What speaks for Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Dortmund in our betting tips?

For our Eintracht Frankfurt - Borussia Dortmund betting tip, we first take some time for the home team. After 7 Bundesliga games, the Hessians are in 7th place in the table with 10 points. However, making a football prediction for matches involving Eintracht Frankfurt is like playing the lottery, unless you bet on lots of goals. But Eintracht's goal spectacles often backfire. In the Champions League, coach Dino Toppmöller's team lost twice in a row with a score of 1:5. Defensive mistakes will definitely be punished against Borussia, and the coach knows that.Interim summary of Eintracht Frankfurt: With the second-most goals and the worst defense in the entire league, the Hessians urgently need to master the balancing act between offense and defense. Four times this season, Frankfurt have scored four or more goals, but four times the Toppmöller team has also conceded four or more goals.
