Reus the bet to get Dortmund on the board

E Frankfurt v B Dortmund
BT Sport ESPN, 7pm Saturday

A disappointing season that failed to meet supporters' expectations, questions over whether the manager will be in charge for the final time in a big domestic cup final and reports that star men want to leave. Does that sound familiar?

This isn't Arsenal, however, but Borussia Dortmund who are looking to save their season by defeating Eintracht Frankfurt in Berlin to potentially give coach Thomas Tuchel a leaving present as rumours persist that he will depart, possibly along with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

If this is to be Aubemeyang's farewell - he has apparently asked to leave - then it should be as a winner with Frankfurt having been victorious in one of their last 13 matches.

The outsiders have needed three penalty shootouts to get this far and finished 11th in the Bundesliga with a goal difference of minus seven compared to Dortmund's plus 32.

Aubameyang has scored seven goals in nine games against Frankfurt but strike partner Marco Reus could offer better value in the scoring stakes as both have thrived in Tuchel's 3-4-1-2 formation.

It has been another frustrating season for the injury-hit Reus but he is flying at the finish and has scored seven times in his last eight games.

Reus is also on penalties after taking over from Aubameyang and will be expected to resume spot-kick duties despite allowing his partner to take the final one against Werder Bremen last week so he could win the Golden Boot ahead of Robert Lewandowski.
