Frankfurt vs Dortmund – Bundesliga Betting Tips

The first 2022 Bundesliga Saturday closes with an exciting and competitive match as Dortmund visits Frankfurt in their first Bundesliga match of 2022.

This match allows Frankfurt to try to break into the Bundesliga top 4. They are sitting with 27 points, having scored 27 goals and conceded 24 goals.

Dortmund, on their part, will be looking to close the enormous point gap between them and Bayern Munich that occupies the top of the table, though their recent form doesn’t convince bettors they have what it takes to pull off such a challenge.

Frankfurt Form and Team News

Frankfurt has been in fine form in the Bundesliga just before the winter break. In December, in their last 5 league games, they won 4 and lost 1 (3-2 to Hoffenheim).

Their return to form towards the end of last year has helped take them to the 6th position in the table. They have won only 7 of their 17 Bundesliga matches, and 4 of those wins came in December.

For the team news, Frankfurt has some players that will miss this fixture due to injury, and they’re Barkok, Hauge, and Lenz. 

Dortmund Form and Team News

Even though they’re the second-best team in Germany, they have been struggling of late to maintain a consistent winning run.

In their last five games in Bundesliga, they have lost 2, drawn 1,  won 2. However, one of those losses was against the league leader Bayern Munich. 

They’re still second on the Bundesliga table with 34 points but far away from the top table, with Bayern Munich occupying the top position at 43 points.

For the team news, Dortmund has been plagued by injury this season, and it gets no better for this match. Akanji, Burki, Hummels, Kobel, Bauza, Moukoko, Reyna, Schmelzer, Unbeham, Wolf, and Zagadou are all injured and won’t feature in this match.

Our Tipsters Angle

The title race looks like it’s all over again for Dortmund as they’re far off Bayern Munich. However, they’re not far off from dropping from the Champions League spot, and 4 teams are eyeing that position. 

Resurgent Frankfurt will fancy their chances of upsetting Dortmund, and below are our tips for this game.

Tip 1:  Over 2.5 Goals 

This the most obvious tips for this match. The Bundesliga is known for scoring lots of goals. For two attacking teams to clash, we expect at least 3 goals in this match.

Also, their past 5 matches have been over 2.5 goals in 4 of Dortmund games and over 2.5 in 3 of Frankfurt games. Since both teams are attack-minded, we think this match will be geared towards who will outscore each other as their matches in the Bundesliga this season has been.

Over 2.5 goals option is available at Casumo Bookie at 1.45 odds.

Tip 2:  Both Teams to Score 

Just like in the goal-scoring department, Frankfurt and Dortmund games are filled with both teams scoring. 

In the last 5 Frankfurt games in all competitions, both teams have found the net in 4 of them. For Dortmund, both teams have found the net in 3 of them.

Also, checking their H2H, the last 5 clashes between the teams have seen both teams scoring in 4 of them.

Both teams to score is placed at 1.40 odds at the Casumo Sportsbook.

Conclusion

This intense German league fixture will be fun to watch. Though the title race looks all over for Dortmund, they’re not known to give up, and if Bayern Munich is to slack by chance, they should be well-positioned to challenge them for the trophy.

For Frankfurt, Champions League qualification is their target, and with 4 other teams competing for the limited spots, we think they’ll make things hard for Dortmund.
