Eintracht Frankfurt is fighting against strong Dortmund in the DFB Cup!

On Tuesday, October 28, 2025, Eintracht Frankfurt will face Borussia Dortmund in the DFB Cup. The game will take place at 6:30 p.m. at Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt. Both teams have already had small successes and setbacks this season that could influence the outcome of the game.

Eintracht Frankfurt has only won one of the last five competitive games in the current Bundesliga season and is currently in 6th place with 13 points. A ray of hope for the Frankfurt team: They were able to record a 2-0 win against St. Pauli last Saturday, which was their first “clean sheet” game after eleven games. In the first round of the DFB Cup, Frankfurt beat Engers 5-0, demonstrating their attacking nature this season as they have scored at least twice in their last eight games.

Facts and figures about the teams

Borussia from Dortmund has a different form curve. With just one loss in their last five games and a solid 1-0 win against 1. FC Köln, they have worked their way up to 4th place in the Bundesliga, currently four points clear of Frankfurt. Their Champions League performances are also impressive: a 4-2 win against Copenhagen and the narrow 1-0 win against Rot-Weiss Essen in the first round of the DFB Cup demonstrate the strength of the team.

Frankfurt is relying on a strong starting eleven with Jonathan Burkardt in the game against Dortmund, and Hugo Larsson could also play a role. Michael Zetterer could continue to be trusted in goal, while Kaua Santos is also an option. On the other hand, Dortmund intends to bring Niklas Süle back onto the pitch, and Marcel Sabitzer could take over Pascal Groß's position. Julian Brandt is expected to play in central midfield behind Serhou Guirassy.
