Eintracht have conceded goals in their last six matches, and their defensive record (60 goals conceded this season) is among the worst in the league. However, the Eagles have consistently scored in their last seven away games, and their first-half meeting ended in a hard-fought 3-3 draw, highlighting their willingness to play open football.
The hosts, despite battling for second place, also lack depth at the back. Borussia have lost three of their last four matches, and seven of their last ten home games have ended with both teams scoring. The head-to-head record in Dortmund speaks volumes: in 12 of the last 13 matches at Signal Iduna Park, both teams have scored. The pressure of the league situation prevents anyone from locking down defensively.
Both teams desperately need points: Dortmund to formally secure their vice-championship title, while the visitors need to qualify for European competition (they're just one point behind Freiburg). Given the attacking potential of the home team's Serou Guirassy and the visitors' high scoring record (57 goals this season), it's logical to expect a goal-sharp exchange.
