The Bavarians host the Eagles in the Allianz Arena on Saturday.

The Bavarians, the indomitable champions of the Bundesliga, will face Frankfurt on the 17th matchday. Bayern Munich are first in the Bundesliga table and can possibly win their 11th title in a row. Bayern are looking solid despite the transfer of key player Robert Lewandowski. They have only lost one match in the 2022/23 Bundesliga season.

Last season Eintracht Frankfurt only managed to win 10 out of 34 matches. However this season, Frankfurt has already won 9 out of 17 matches. It is highly possible that Frankfurt will secure a place in either the Champions League or Europa League.

Kick-off: Saturday,28th January, 11:00 pm (IST), 5:30 pm (GMT)

Bayern Munich Form (All Competitions): W-W-D-D-D

Eintracht Frankfurt Form (All Competitions): D-D-W-W-D

Players To Watch

Bayern Munich

Jamal Musiala

Another talented youngster amongst the likes of Phil Foden, Sancho, Pedri and many more. Musiala is leading the charts for most goal contributions from U-21 players this season. The Bayern Munich midfielder has a G/A of 16 in 16 games of the 2022/23 season. Musiala is usually played as a number 10 or out wide in accordance with his excellent dribbling ability and shot power. He is a very versatile midfielder as well. It would not be surprising to see him on the scoresheet against Frankfurt.

Eintracht Frankfurt

Randal Kolo Muani

Definitely the future of France. Kolo Muani first gained immense fame after an excellent display against Argentina in the World Cup final. The Frankfurt star came very close to scoring the winning goal in the last minute of extra time. However, Kolo Muani is performing well in the Bundesliga as well. The centre-forward is leading the charts in Bundesliga for most assists(11) in the 2022/23 season. Overall he has managed to score 6 goals and has provided 11 assists in 16 Bundesliga matches.

Match Facts

  • Bayern Munich are winless in their first two games of a calendar year. The last time this happened was in 2015.
  • Bayern Munich have recorded more home wins (41) against Frankfurt than any other Bundesliga side.

Injury And Team News

Bayern Munich are set to play without their star goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer. The Sweeper keeper has broken his leg and is set to miss the entire season. Lucas Hernandez is also set to miss the season because of an ACL tear. Leon Goretzka can possibly miss the match because of a suspected concussion in Bayern's draw against Koln. Marcel Sabitzer is likely to replace him in the starting XI.

Frankfurt are arguably facing the toughest opponent in the Bundesliga. Unfortunately, they will be playing Bayern Munich without wing-backs Luca Pellegrini and Eric Dina Ebimbe. This is because of ankle and calf injuries. Frankfurt are also playing without their first-choice keeper, Kevin Trapp because. Despite this, Diant Ramaj put in a great performance against Freiburg.

Prediction

Bayern Munich are struggling after the World Cup ended. They have failed to win both of their matches after the calendar year began. However, Bayern Munich will be looking to break this winless run against Frankfurt. After a disappointing match against Koln, Bayern will look to step up to their regular standards. Frankfurt on the other hand can capitalise on this situation and can possibly become 2nd in the Bundesliga table.

Prediction: Bayern Munich: 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
