Match Preview: Bayern Munich host Frankfurt in Matchday 5

Opposition Focus

Bayern looked uncomfortable against Atletico Madrid at the start of both halves. They took time to settle and dictate the tempo of the game. Fatigue could be one of the reasons for such slow starts to games, and fans could witness this more in upcoming weeks.

Frankfurt would be looking to capitalize during this small window in both halves. They troubled Die Roten away from Allianz Arena, so there is surely potential in the team to be threatening on the break. Set-pieces will also be crucial for the visitors since Rekordmeister has looked a bit shaky during dead ball situations in the Bundesliga.

Bas Dost and Andre Silva are the two key players for Frankfurt in the final third. Both strikers have combined scored five goals in the Bundesliga this season. Meanwhile, Daichi Kamada will have the responsibility of creating chances for two strikers as he sits in the number ten position. Frankfurt will be looking to play on the counter, so the decision making from all three attacking players will have to be efficient. (Stats courtesy: Soccerway)

Score Prediction

Bayern Munich 3-0 Eintracht Frankfurt

After the international break, Bayern has looked irresistible. Frankfurt has always been a tricky opponent, but I expect another blitz from Die Roten and take all three points on Saturday. Also, going with a clean sheet for Neuer.
