Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Bayern Munich once again look impressive, and will be aiming to replicate their successful treble campaign from last time around. Despite key players Ivan Perisic and Philippe Coutinho returning to Inter Milan and Barcelona respectively following their loan spells, and Thiago joining Liverpool, the Bavarians do not look short of options.
Eintracht Frankfurt have started the season well, and are yet to lose a game in the league. Striker Andre Silva, highly-rated during his Porto days, has been in good form, while the likes of veteran striker Bas Dost and midfielder Daichi Kamada could prove to be crucial if they are to upset the champions.
Bayern Munich have a strong squad and a good manager. They should be able to beat Eintracht Frankfurt when all is said and done.
Prediction: Bayern Munich 3-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
