BVB have not lost one of their last five competitive fixtures against Eintracht, and are, as a result, unbeaten in all five encounters across 2017 and 2018. We look at the pertinent facts ahead of Saturday's match.

Facts on the fixture

  • BVB have the most Bundesliga wins against Eintracht (44) and the best goal difference (+49).
  • BVB have only kept more clean sheets against Cologne (26 times) than against Frankfurt (25 times).
  • BVB have gone on to win after going 1-0 behind more times against Frankfurt (9 times) than any other team. BVB have managed to save a point against them in a further 10 matches. 
  • But: BVB have only won one of the last eight away games against Frankfurt (on 1 September 2013, 2-1). Frankfurt have taken ten of a possible twelve points from their last four home matches against Borussia.

Facts on Eintracht

  • Frankfurt have only won two of their last seven Bundesliga games and collected only eight of a possible 21 points during this time (two draws, three defeats). In the seven games prior to that, Eintracht had picked up 19 points (six wins, one draw).
  • The attacking trio of Luka Jovic (13), Sebastien Haller (11) and Ante Rebic (7) have scored 31 of the team's 39 goals this season (79%). They have scored all five of the team's goals in the second half of the season so far.
  • Only two teams have scored more goals than Frankfurt (39) – and that's a lot more than they had at this point in the season last year (24).
  • Frankfurt have not lost one of their last 26 games (and have even won the last eight) in which they took a 1-0 lead.
