Borussia Dortmund welcome Eintracht Frankfurt to the Signal Iduna Park for their opening fixture of the 2021/22 German Bundesliga campaign. Dortmund are looking to give Bayern Munich a closer fight this season and are set for a positive start against a weakened Frankfurt team.

Borussia Dortmund already appear to be in competition mode after claiming a 3-0 victory over Wehen Wiesbaden in the DFB Pokal. They were too strong for the third-tier side with Erling Haaland netting a hat-trick.

Dortmund had a fine end to last season as they went on a seven-game winning run to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League. New manager Marco Rose appears to be continuing in that stead as they claimed three wins from four preseason fixtures.

Although they lost Jadon Sancho, Dortmund appear to have successfully held on to star striker Erling Haaland. With Thorgan Harzard and Marco Reus still at the club and following the acquisition of Donyell Malen, they are not likely to lose any of their attacking verve.

It was a major let down for Frankfurt last term as they missed out on Champions League football on the last day of the season. They were in pole position to secure a return to Europe’s elite competition but appeared to capitulate towards the end of the campaign, claiming just one win in their final four matches.

多特蒙德欢迎法兰克福队来到Signal Iduna公园参加他们2021/22年德甲联赛的首场比赛。多特蒙德希望本赛季能与拜仁慕尼黑有一场更近距离的较量，并准备在面对实力减弱的法兰克福队时取得一个积极的开局。

多特蒙德在德国世界杯上以3-0战胜威斯巴登后，已经进入了竞技状态。哈兰德上演帽子戏法，对这支三线球队来说，他们太强大了。

多特蒙德在上个赛季取得了一个不错的结局，他们连续7场比赛获胜，确保了在欧洲冠军联赛的席位。新主帅马克罗斯似乎将继续保持这种状态，他们在赛季前的四场比赛中取得了三场胜利。

尽管他们失去了桑乔，多特蒙德似乎成功地留住了明星射手哈兰德。随着托根·哈扎德和马尔科·罗伊斯仍然在俱乐部，并且在收购了唐纳耶尔·马伦之后，他们不太可能失去任何进攻活力。

这对法兰克福来说是一个重大的失望，因为他们错过了本赛季最后一天的冠军联赛。他们本来处于领先地位，有望重返欧洲顶级联赛，但似乎在比赛接近尾声时投降了，声称在最后四场比赛中只赢了一场。
