Borussia Dortmund welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to Signal Iduna Park this evening for the opening match of Bundesliga Matchday 33. The fixture represents the final opportunity for the Yellow Wall to support their side on home soil this campaign.
Both teams enter this clash looking to halt poor runs of results. However, the visitors carry greater urgency as they battle to secure a place in next season’s Europa Conference League.
The home dressing room received a significant boost with the return of three senior figures. Centre-back Niklas Süle, midfielder Felix Nmecha and winger Karim Adeyemi are all back in contention. Süle faces an emotional week, with the German set to hang up his boots following next Saturday’s trip to Werder Bremen.
Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmöller must plan without Rasmus Kristensen. The Danish full-back serves a ban after receiving his marching orders during last week’s defeat to Hamburg.
Following German football tradition, Dortmund’s players will wear their new home strip for the 2025-26 season during this match. Supporters will get their first glimpse of the fresh design ahead of the summer break.
