In the 21st Round of the Bundesliga the duel between Borussia Dortmund and Eintracht Frankfurt will be the clash on upcoming Sunday.
The 1:4-debacle in Stuttgart visualized Dortmund that qualifying for the European Cup will be a tough road. The series of twelve games unbeaten just ended in a phase in which some fans already dreamt of being a part of the UEFA Champions League next season. The motto for the next match is now called redemption. Matching the next opponent: Eintracht Frankfurt won the last time in Dortmund on the 20th April 1991.
Those image of a sight for sore eyes in Westphalia would be discarded by the squad of coach Michael Skibbe preferably on this Sunday. The current seventh of the Bundesliga shows this season very ambitious performances. The misfortune with injuries sticking mainly to players in the Frankfurt offensive: in addition to regular striker and captain Ioannis Amanatidis, the Czech Martin Fenin and winger Ümit Korkmaz are both absent. The signing of ex-Schalke-striker Halil Altintop should cater for goals. The Turkish international scored in 188 Bundesliga matches so far 44 goals.
