Record starting run: Borussia Dortmund have won each of their last 10 games on the first matchday, extending their record for consecutive winning starts.

\n

It's been a long time: A new Dortmund coach has not lost their first Bundesliga match with BVB for 20 years. The last time that happened was against VfL Wolfsburg under Bert van Marwijk in 2004.

\n

Favourite foe: In their Bundesliga history, BVB have racked up their most wins against Eintracht Frankfurt (51). Of the last 16 Bundesliga meetings against the Hesse outfit, Dortmund have lost only one. In addition, there has always been at least one goal in the last 57 Bundesliga meetings. The most recent 0-0 came in April 1990.

\n

Match-winner: BVB have won all five of their Bundesliga matches in which Gittens has scored. Jamie bagged his first brace in the Bundesliga. After coming on, he had two shots and both went in. The 20-year-old has now already scored more goals (two) than in the entirety of the last Bundesliga campaign (he scored once against Mönchengladbach on Matchday 12 in 2023/24).

\n\n \n\n

Back in action: Pascal Groß played a Bundesliga match for the first time since May 2017 (for Ingolstadt against Schalke, 1-1). After Nico Schlotterbeck (pictured, 134), the midfielder had the second-most possession phases (121) and ran the most on the pitch (12.5km).

\n

Fair play: There were only nine fouls against the opposition (six from BVB, three from Frankfurt) and only one yellow card (Ellyes Skhiri).
