Bayern Munich are still seeking their first win since the restart and welcome Eintracht Frankfurt for a Bundesliga fixture on Saturday.
Things have not been smooth for Bayern Munich who have been held in their last two matches, playing out 1-1 draws with RB Leipzig and Cologne.
Bayern have still only suffered one defeat all season and remain four points clear at the top of the standings. However, with in-form RB Leipzig breathing down their neck, a quick upturn in form is required.
While the draw with Cologne will be disappointing, Bayern Munich are still unbeaten at the Allianz Arena this season. Julian Nagelsmann’s men had won the previous four matches, scoring four goals or more in each of those wins.
While Bayern Munich have struggled since the restart, Eintracht Frankfurt are looking refreshed for the second half of the season. First, they claimed a 3-0 victory over Schalke 04 before being held to a 1-1 draw at Freiburg in their midweek Bundesliga fixture.
Both results mean Eintracht Frankfurt are now unbeaten in their last five Bundesliga matches, claiming three wins in that run. However, following the draw at Freiburg, Oliver Glasner’s men have now slipped to fourth, although they remain just five points off the leaders.
Wednesday’s result at Freiburg was the second straight away draw for Frankfurt, who are still slightly erratic on their travels. They are also unconvincing at the back, failing to keep a single clean sheet on the travels this season.
How the bookies view it
Despite looking off colour since the restart, Bayern Munich still have the upper hand among the bookies with a home win priced at 7/20 by Unibet. A victory for Eintracht Frankfurt is valued at 8/1 by Coral while a draw is set at odds of 10/2 with bet365.
Head to head
Bayern Munich have a 64-24 advantage with 21 draws from 106 previous matches with Eintracht Frankfurt. The Bavarians have also won the last two meetings and claimed a 6-1 victory in the reverse fixture back in August.
Players to watch
Although Sadio Mane’s return from injury will be a boost for Bayern Munich, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting remains the one to watch. The striker has seven goals in his last eight Bundesliga matches and is priced at 23/20 by Unibet to get on the score sheet.
Randal Kolo Muani was on target on Wednesday to take his tally to six Bundesliga goals and will be the one to watch for Eintracht Frankfurt. The striker also grabbed the consolation in the reverse fixture and is priced at 3/1 by bet365 to get on the score sheet at the Allianz Arena.
Anything else catch the eye?
This fixture often produces goals as evidenced by the result in the reverse fixture. Over 4.5 goals could be on the cards at 2/1 with Unibet, who are also offering odds of 17/20 for over 3.5 goals.
The one-sided nature of the result in the reverse fixture means a -1 handicap for Bayern Munich could be considered at 5/6 with Paddy Power. The Bavarians could also be backed to claim a win and over 3.5 goals at 5/4 with 10bet, given the minimal odds for a straight victory.
