Watch live Bundesliga games on Friday nights on the BBC
Bundesliga Goals of the Year: 2025
- Published
Top-flight German football is being shown live on the BBC this season after rights were secured to broadcast Friday night Bundesliga matches through to 2027.
The coverage will continue on Friday, 9 January where second place Borussia Dortmund travel to Eintracht Frankfurt as the Bundesliga resumes after its winter break.
All matches will be available to watch live on the BBC Sport website, app and on BBC iPlayer every Friday, with clips of the biggest in-game moments across BBC Sport's social media channels.
Who plays next
Bourssia Dortmund are on an eight-match unbeaten streak and are sat 2nd in the league.
Eintracht Frankfurt are struggling to find form this season. Although they only had two more points at this stage last season, they had won four games in a row twice and were sat 3rd in the league. This season, they only have seven Bundesliga wins to their name.
They are also conceding a lot of goals. They have the second most goals against them in the Bundesliga this season, shipping 30 goals in their first 15 matches. They have only managed to keep out their opponents three times, all of which have come at home.
Borussia Dortmund, however, are one of the most consistent teams in the league. They are on an eight-match unbeaten streak, with five wins and three draws in that time, and have only lost once all season- to league leaders Bayern Munich.
They are also hard to score against. They have kept eight clean sheets in the league this season, the joint most with Bayern Munich. Having only conceded 12 goals in the league all season, Frankfurt will have to work hard to break down Dortmund's steely back line.
Dortmund have bragging rights when it comes to this fixture, winning half of every match they've played against Frankfurt (W56, D21, L35), and haven't lost back-to-back encounters since 2016. We can also expect some goals, with their last five meetings in the Bundesliga producing 18 goals and you have to go as far back as 1990 for the last time the match ended in a goalless draw.
