DORTMUND, Germany (Interstat) — Borussia Dortmund hosts Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday, May 8, 2026, in a Bundesliga matchup that carries high stakes for both clubs as they jostle for position late in the season.

Dortmund enters the contest on an inconsistent run. The club fell 1-0 at Borussia Mönchengladbach II on May 3, a result that snapped a two-game winning streak. However, earlier in the same week, Dortmund thumped SSV Rhade 3-1 and recorded a 4-0 shutout of Freiburg II on April 26. Overall, Dortmund has shown an ability to score in bursts — six goals against 1. FFC Recklinghausen in March and four against Freiburg II — but has also struggled with defensive lapses, including a 5-1 loss at Augsburg in late March.

Eintracht Frankfurt arrives in Dortmund having lost two straight. Union Saint-Gilloise defeated them 2-1 on May 3, and Hamburger SV II won 2-1 the previous day. Those defeats followed a 1-1 draw at Augsburg on April 25 — one of only three clean-sheet performances this season for Frankfurt (March 8 against St. Pauli and March 1 against Freiburg II). The club’s recent record is mixed: they’ve won only twice in their last 10 matches, including a 2-1 victory at Wolfsburg on April 11.

The two teams met most recently on Jan. 9, 2026, when they played to a 3-3 draw in Frankfurt — a match that featured six goals and no winner.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 2-1 Dortmund victory.

Dortmund will also play later Friday at Fortuna Köln in a separate fixture, while Frankfurt next hosts Freiburg in a club friendly on May 10 before returning to Bundesliga action against Stuttgart on May 16.
