The task for Bayern Munich will be to continue to keep Dortmund at bay as the travel to Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday in the Bundesliga. The hosts have not been at their best lately and Bayern will be seeking some revenge for the defeat in the reverse fixture.
Eintracht Frankfurt have been far from their best this term and have struggled to replicate their fine showings from last season. They are currently 10th on the table, six points off the top six, still maintaining slim hopes of a European finish.
Frankfurt are in poor form and have claimed just one win from their last six Bundesliga matches. They have lost three of the last four fixtures in that run and were beaten 1-0 at Cologne in their previous fixture.
Things are just as bad for Frankfurt at Deutsche Bank Park, where they have lost their last three Bundesliga matches. The last home fixture for Oliver Glasner’s men was a 2-0 defeat to Wolfsburg.
It has not been a typically dominant campaign for Bayern Munich this season as they have shown some vulnerability and dropped a few needless points. However, they remain six points clear at the top and will be keen to fend off Borussia Dortmund.
After suffering a shock defeat at Bochum, Bayern Munich returned to winning ways in fine style. The champions claimed a 4-1 victory over bottom side Greuther Furth in their previous Bundesliga fixture with Robert Lewandowski netting a brace.
Bayern Munich have maintained a solid record on the road this season and travel to Frankfurt with eight wins from their last 10 away matches. Julian Naglesmann’s men have claimed a few one-sided wins at the top sides this term, including a 5-1 victory at Bayer Leverkusen and a 4-1 triumph at RB Leipzig.
