Borussia Dortmund vs Frankfurt 14.08.2021

Borussia Dortmund’s strong finish to last season’s Bundesliga was only good enough for a 3rd-place finish behind champions Bayern Munich and RB Leipzig. They parted with coach Julian Nagelsmann who went to the champions Bayern Munich. Marco Rose will be taking his place in the dugout in this his first league game in charge.

Frankfurt flattered to deceive for the better part of the season as they found themselves in the top three for long spells but a poor finish saw them drop to 5th which was still quite impressive as they earned a Europa League slot. They will look to make a push into the top-4 this time around.

Dortmund’s top scorer from last season was of course the Norwegian phenome Erling Haaland despite drawing interest from big teams across Europe he will be staying put. He showed he has not lost a step with a terrific hatrick in Dortmund’s 3-0 win over Wehen in DFB Pokal game earlier in the week. We are backing him to open the scoring here
