Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich: Team News & Head-to-Head
Frankfurt
Frankfurt manager Dino Toppmoller praised his team’s overall performance but will be concerned about the chances they allowed. The Eagles have won five of their last six games in all competitions, though their home form has been mixed with four wins, six draws, and two losses in their last 12 matches at Deutsche Bank Park.
Despite averaging only 42% possession, Frankfurt has created the second-most big chances in the Bundesliga this season. For Frankfurt, Mario Gotze may miss out due to an injury sustained against Besiktas, with Fares Chaibi likely to replace him.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich, meanwhile, will look to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa in the Champions League. The match’s only goal came in the 79th minute when Pau Torres played Jhon Duran through on goal. Duran capitalized on a mistake by goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
Kompany admitted that Bayern were a step too slow throughout the match, and Harry Kane expressed frustration over a lack of service in the final third. Bayern could stick with Dayot Upamecano in defense despite his struggles, pairing him with Raphael Guerreiro, Kim Min-Jae, and Alphonso Davies in a back four.
Head-to-Head
Despite the loss, Bayern remains strong domestically, winning all five of their Bundesliga matches. They boast the league’s best offense with 17 goals scored and third-best defense with just four goals conceded. Their most recent Bundesliga fixture was a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, where Bayern limited the reigning champions to just three shots.
Possible Starting XI
Eintracht Frankfurt: Santos; Kristensen, Tuta, Koch, Theate; Dina Ebimbe, Shkiri, Larsson, Chaibi; Ekitike, Marmoush
Bayern Munich: Neuer; Guerreiro, Upamecano, Kim, Davies; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Muller, Gnabry; Kane
Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich: Prediction
Bayern Munich lost their last fixture in the UEFA Champions League against Aston Villa. Vincent Kompany might have made the necessary technical changes and got the team back together. Therefore, it is predicted that Bayern will dominate this game and take the three points home.
