Bayern Munich travel to the Deutsche Bank Park to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga on Saturday.

Both sides will be looking to continue their positive momentum in the league, with the unbeaten champions sitting top of the table while Frankfurt occupy fourth place. They will be looking to bounce back from midweek disappointment in the Champions League, though, having suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Eintracht Frankfurt team news

Coach Dino Toppmöller has injury concerns with Rasmus Kristensen sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Jessic Ngankam remains out with a broken leg sustained in early October. However, the Eagles will be boosted by the exceptional form of teenage sensation Can Uzun, who has scored in all five Bundesliga matches this season and leads the team’s scoring charts with five goals plus three assists.

The versatile 19-year-old Turkish international has been described as “absolutely world-class” by Germany legend Mario Götze, who praised Uzun’s technical ability and enormous potential. Frankfurt’s attacking trio of Uzun, Jonathan Burkardt, and Ritsu Doan have been in sparkling form, contributing to the Eagles’ remarkable tally of 17 goals in just five league matches – a new club record.

Bayern Munich team news

Vincent Kompany’s side is yet to provide any statement regarding the injured players and if any of them will be back this weekend or not, though they remain without the services of injured star Jamal Musiala for sure. The German international suffered a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle during the summer’s Club World Cup and is targeting a competitive return before the end of 2025. Josip Stanisic remains out with an inner ligament injury.

The reigning champions have been in devastating form under Kompany, recording nine consecutive victories across all competitions. Harry Kane has been the standout performer, netting an incredible 17 goals in just nine appearances this season, surpassing records previously held by Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The England captain became the fastest player to reach 100 goals for any club in Europe’s top five leagues in the 21st century, achieving the milestone in just 104 games.

Form

Eintracht Frankfurt

Frankfurt’s season has been characterised by thrilling encounters, with every match featuring at least four goals. Their recent 6-4 victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach showcased both their attacking capabilities and defensive vulnerabilities.

As entertaining as their matches have been, the Eagles have conceded 13 goals in five league matches, representing their leakiest defensive start to a campaign on record. Their home form has been inconsistent, though they remain dangerous opponents when playing at the Deutsche Bank Park.
