Frankfurt Form & balance check
The Frankfurters have nothing to fear from the top game against Bayern. They last lost on the first matchday against Dortmund, after which four wins followed. Most recently, they beat promoted side Holstein Kiel 4-2. One reason for Frankfurt’s strong offense is, of course, Omar Marmoush. The Eintracht top scorer has already contributed to nine of the eleven goals scored by Eintracht. What’s more, at 68 minutes per goal, he has a better goal rate than Harry Kane on the opposite side.
In the Europa League, they were able to assert themselves confidently with 3:1 against Besiktas Istanbul, not to be mentioned here the outstanding performance of Frankfurt keeper Kaua Santos. In the first half, he initially held a penalty from former Dortmund player Ciro Immobile and even after that, the 21-year-old scraped everything off the line that came to the gate. He was only beaten once in the 93rd minute. This game will certainly give him a lot of self-confidence, which he will also need against the Bayern offense, who also had a tough time against a very good Emi Martinez in the Champions League.

Bayern Form & Bilanz Check
Bayern come to Frankfurt after the first three away games with a historic Bundesliga record of nine points and +11 goals. Vincent Kompany could become only the second Bayern coach to win his first four Bundesliga away games, the first being Ottmar Hitzfeld in 1998. The record here is held by an ex-coach of today’s opponent, Ivan Horvat in 1964 (5).
CL streak of Bayern is broken
Apart from the strong away record in the league, Bayern have recently suffered a setback in the league and the Champions League. While last week they only managed a draw against reigning champions Leverkusen at home, Bayern suffered a historic defeat in the Champions League. After 41 unbeaten games in the group stage, they lost to Aston Villa. One reason for this was the current world champion goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, who managed to keep a clean sheet. In the 79th minute, Jhon Duran scored a wonderful lob from a good 35 meters out, giving Villa two wins from two games. Bayern will do everything they can to get back on the road to success quickly.
Bayern unbeatable against the runner-up
Since a 1-4 loss in Wolfsburg in January 2015, Bayern have not lost any of the last 17 Bundesliga duels against the runner-up. They have recorded eleven wins and six draws. In addition, the two clubs are ranked first and second in the table for the first time since April 1994.
Bayern facts & analysis
- 17 consecutive games unbeaten against second-placed teams
- Three consecutive away wins in the league
- Scored in both halves in four of five league games
Bayern will again line up in Vincent Kompany’s proven 4-2-3-1 formation in the Bundesliga. Above all, the defensive instability from the previous season has been greatly improved as a result. After the Champions League defeat, they will definitely rotate again. However, Jamal Musiala definitely needs to be replaced. The dribbler will be out for an indefinite period due to hip joint problems, but it remains unclear who will replace him. Other absentees are Sven Ulreich (suspended by the sports court), Tarek Buchmann (training deficit), Hiroki Ito (metatarsal fracture), Josip Stanisic (torn knee ligament) and Sacha Boey (torn meniscus).
Eintracht, under Dino Toppmöller, also play in a 4-2-3-1 formation like FCB. The Frankfurters can look forward to the return of Hugo Ekitike, but it remains to be seen whether he will start from the off. Kevin Trapp (thigh injury) and Oscar Højlund (broken metatarsal) are still out for Eintracht.
