Bayern Munich will travel to Deutsche Bank Park to face Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga in what promises to be one of their toughest battles of the season so far.
Frankfurt are currently fourth in the Bundesliga table with nine points from five games, but they could reduce the gap with Bayern to three points with a win on their home turf.
Bayern maintained their unbeaten run in the 2025-26 campaign after thrashing Pafos FC 5-1 in the Champions League in midweek.
Frankfurt, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat against Atletico Madrid away from home in midweek, and they need to raise their levels. Will Bayern maintain their winning run? Follow our Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich preview below.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich preview
The Eagles have been one of the most entertaining teams in the Bundesliga this season, having scored 17 goals already.
They began the campaign with a 4-1 win against Werder Bremen and have since secured victories against Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach.
In between, they suffered two consecutive defeats against Bayer Leverkusen and Union Berlin, but bounced back to winning ways with a 6-4 win against Gladbach.
Despite losing key players like Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike in 2025, Frankfurt have not lost their attacking vigour, but their leaky defence remains a primary concern.
They went 6-0 up against Gladbach inside 48 minutes, but then conceded four goals to make the game unnecessarily tense. They have conceded 17 goals in their last five games, and if they do not tighten their defence at the back, Bayern can punish them heavily.
Bayern have enjoyed the best start in Bundesliga history under Vincent Kompany with 15 points, 22 goals scored, and three conceded after five matches.
Despite a turbulent summer transfer window and the fears that the squad may have been depleted, Bayern’s journey so far has been nothing short of a football fairytale.
Harry Kane is enjoying the form of his life, having scored 17 goals already.
Bayern scored four goals or more in their last three Bundesliga games, having won 5-0 against Hamburg, 4-1 against Hoffenheim, and 4-0 against Werder Bremen.
Despite missing several key players through injuries, Kompany’s side are playing with unbelievable flair and confidence, with the likes of Serge Gnabry, Michael Olise, and Luis Diaz all making a significant impact.
Despite the ongoing transfer speculation surrounding Dayot Upamecano’s future, it has not affected his game at all. He has been outstanding for the Bavarian giants, while Konrad Laimer has impressed heavily in September as well.
