Borussia Dortmund Form
Dortmund's recent home form is a bit of a rollercoaster: WLLWW. They've scored consistently, but have also shown defensive vulnerabilities. In their last five home games, they've found the net 8 times while conceding 6. They need to tighten up at the back if they want to seriously challenge Bayern. Their overall goal difference of +33 highlights their attacking prowess, but also the need for defensive solidity.

Frankfurt's away form reads DLWDL. Inconsistent to say the least. Goals have been hard to come by on their travels, with just 5 scored in their last five away matches, conceding 7. Their overall goal difference is a meager -3, indicating a lack of cutting edge in attack and some defensive issues. They'll need to be at their absolute best to get anything from this game.
