Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt

High-flying Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich will have revenge on their minds when they take on out-of-sorts Eintracht Frankfurt at the Allianz Arena this weekend.

A 5-0 dismantling of Dynamo Kyiv in the Champions League midweek showed that Bayern Munich’s chopping machine intends to keep smashing everyone in its way. Since being held to a 1-1 away draw to Borussia Monchengladbach on Bundesliga Matchday 1, Julian Naglesmann’s men have won their subsequent five league outings by an aggregate score of 22-4. Moreover, the ‘Bavarians’ have netted 3+ goals in all three top-flight fixtures at the Allianz Arena this term, scoring a total of 15, indicating a 13th consecutive league H2H win in Munich is well on the cards. Notably, the hosts have bagged nine second-half goals at home in the Bundesliga this term, three more than their visitors in six league games overall. Yet, after losing their most recent Bundesliga H2H, the perennial German champions face the risk of suffering back-to-back top-flight defeats to this opposition for the first time since 1995.

After guiding Wolfsburg to an unexpected top-four finish last term, Oliver Glasner took charge of Frankfurt in the summer but has yet to taste victory in the Bundesliga this term (D5, L1). Having led Eintracht to their worst six-game start to a new top-flight campaign since 2008/09, Glasner starts to feel the heat, as his men harbor a slender one-point lead over relegation-threatened sides ahead of the kick-off. Eintracht’s most common result in all competitions this season has been 1-1, with their five competitive fixtures yielding that scoreline before a narrow 1-0 Europa League triumph at Antwerp in midweek. Bringing the 2020/21 campaign into the equation, ‘Die Adler’ are winless in their last six Bundesliga fixtures away from home (D2, L4), conceding an average of 4.00 goals per loss in the process.
