In-form hosts, Eintracht Frankfurt, will be keen to pit their wits against the Bundesliga leaders, Bayern Munich, when the two teams clash at the Deutsche Bank Park on Saturday afternoon with Eintracht Frankfurt looking to record a fifth league win on the trot.
Recent wins against Arminia Bielefeld, Hertha Berlin, Hoffenheim and Koln have helped thrust Eintracht Frankfurt up into the top four of the German top flight with the hosts sitting in 3rd spot and indeed, the hosts are unbeaten in their last 10 matches overall.
Eight wins out of these 10 matches have seen Eintracht Frankfurt emerge as serious contenders for a top four finish and a place in next season’s Champions League, but this impressive run of results are expected to come under serious pressure from the visitors on Saturday.
Nevertheless, Eintracht Frankfurt have won their last four home matches on the trot amidst an unbeaten run of 12 matches at their Deutsche Bank Park, but they’ve come off second-best in recent exchanges against Bayern Munich, losing the last three meetings on the trot and six of the previous seven clashes.
Bayern Munich also bring an impressive run of results into this attractive looking top three encounter in the Bundesliga having won five of their last six matches which has opened up a five-point cushion at the top of the domestic top flight over 2nd placed RB Leipzig.
Victories over Freiburg, Augsburg, Schalke, Hoffenheim and Hertha Berlin have helped maintain Bayern’s familiar position at the top of the Bundesliga and having lost just twice throughout this campaign, the visitors look a menacing prospect yet again this season.
Bayern Munich have suffered just one defeat out of their last 10 matches on their travels which was a narrow 3-2 loss at Borussia Moenchengladbach, but eight wins within this 10-match sequence underlines Bayern’s threat both home and away in the domestic top flight.
The visitors’ ability to carve out results on the road is no fluke either as Bayern Munich have lost just two out of their last 21 outings on the road, an impressive sequence of results which include no fewer than 18 victories which have helped Bayern Munich stamp their authority on the rest of the division.
To sum up, Eintracht Frankfurt have produced some solid results of late but Bayern Munich look to hold the edge here.
