Deutsche Bank Park

In contrast to Dortmund, the mood in the Frankfurt camp is especially high right now, with coach Dino Toppmöller saying, "Looking at the table makes us happy, but it fills my heart with joy to see our wonderful spirit and the good energy we bring onto the pitch. This spirit can take us a long way."

"Below our expectations"

Dortmund captain Emre Can attempted to sum up his side's travails this term after Tuesday's Kiel loss, the defensive midfielder saying: "We're not getting it right on the pitch. I want to emphasise that once more, it's not down to the coach. We players are responsible, particularly myself. We have to change that as quickly as possible. We're a long way below our expectations."

BVB bother

Unlike their hosts, Dortmund's fortunes have been going the opposite way in 2025 with last weekend's reverse against Bayer Leverkusen followed by a shock loss at strugglers Holstein Kiel.

Eagles rising

A 100 per cent record in 2025 so far means that Die Adler have put a pre-New Year blip behind themselves and are riding high once more. Top scorer Omar Marmoush has been instrumental in Frankfurt's two wins this year against St. Pauli and Freiburg.
