Being a favorite does not necessarily mean getting good results and even though there are currently some new players in the dortmund team. it cannot be used as a benchmark, especially since the first match will be difficult to predict, so for now there is no need to have high expectations for dortmund, we cannot yet be sure of dortmund's strength in the bundesliga, especially since the opponent they will face is eintracht frankfurt and is not a team that can be defeated easily, and as you said they finished in 6th place in the final standings that makes everything clear.
both teams have the same chance of getting positive results.
From several pages of this thread I read a lot of people who doubt Dortmund match to get 3 points in this match. Come on guys, we have to be more realistic in looking at the squads of both teams.
I know that Dortmund is just a team that thinks about the business of selling players and even some players have been sold to other teams, but what about the arrival of Guirassy? Won't this help?
Let's go deeper. If you talk about Frankfurt achievements last season, you should also consider whether Frankfurt achievements were only last season or have been below Dortmund several times. And we also have to see how these two teams met on the field in H2H statistics.
Dortmund vs Frankfurt (3-1)
Frankfurt vs Dortmund (3-3)
Dortmund vs Frankfurt (4-0)
Frankfurt vs Dortmund (1-2)
Frankfurt vs Dortmund (2-3)
From these statistics it might be clearer if Frankfurt has only ever drawn once when at home. While this match took place at Dortmund home.
Odds Dortmund @1.71 and Frankfurt @4.50. It was clear this would be a Dortmund win.
