Frankfurt vs Bayern – When Bayern Munich takes on Eintracht Frankfurt today, they will be trying to extend their Bundesliga advantage. Last weekend, the visitors had to come from behind to avoid a major upset, and they were defeated for the second time in a row to continue their terrible start to the new year.
Bayern Munich beat Greuther Furth 4-1 at Allianz Arena, snapping a two-game losing streak. In the first half of the Furth match, things did not appear so bright for the Bavarians, as Julian Nagelsmann’s side trailed 0-1 to the Bundesliga’s bottom squad.
Despite this, Bayern Munich found their stride in the second half, scoring four goals (two of which were scored by the competition’s top scorer Robert Lewandowski) for a convincing win.
Because Borussia Dortmund also thrashed Monchengladbach 6-0 last weekend, the Bavarian giants are still only six points clear at the top of the rankings.
They will now go to Deutcshe Bank Park to face Eintracht Frankfurt, who are currently in mid-table. The quality gap between Bayern Munich and the rest of the league is immense, and the Bavarians must be considered huge favorites against any opponent in this competition.
Of course, Eintracht Frankfurt is on the list, having failed to score in their previous two losses against Wolfsburg (0-1) and FC Koln (1-0) in the last two rounds.
Frankfurt vs Bayern – Team News:
Frankfurt will be without central midfielder Kristijan Jakic today after the Croatian was ruled out of Bayern Munich’s visit due to his fifth yellow card of the season last weekend. Sebastian Rode is also expected to be absent from the center of the pitch, which means Ajdin Hrustic will have to fill in for Djibril Sow.
Thomas Muller, one of the tourists, will miss the trip after testing positive for COVID-19 this week.
Bayern will be without important players Alphonso Davies, Leon Goretzka, Kingsley Coman, and Manuel Neuer, who have combined for six goals and 16 assists in the Bundesliga so far this season.
Corentin Tolisso suffered a hamstring injury in the first half of last weekend’s triumph, further limiting Nagelsmann’s options, while Lucas Hernandez is also out with a calf injury, potentially leaving the visitors with seven first-team players.
Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting lineup:
Trapp; Tuta, Hinteregger, N’Dicka; Chandler, Hrustic, Sow, Lenz; Lindstrom, Kostic; Borre
