Eintracht Frankfurt v Bayern Munich Match Result
Bayern Munich are trading at 1.42 to win this German Bundesliga clash. While those odds might be short for some punters, others will look at this price as a 42% bonus on top of their original stake. Vincent Kompany’s side haven’t just been winning this term but enjoying significant margins of victory and they were 5-1 victors away to Pafos on Tuesday.
Previously to this, there was a 4-0 success at home to Werder Bremen and a 4-1 triumph away to Hoffenheim. The only narrow margin of victory came when achieving a 3-2 win away to Augsburg although it’s been plain sailing apart from that. It’s easy to see an away victory here and BTTS Yes can be combined to goo effect here.
Bayern had an impressive thirteen shots on target in that recent win over Bremen and it’s clear that this is one of the strongest teams in Europe. Harry Kane is arguably the best striker in the world and they also had a double figure shots on target tally when winning 4-1 away to Hoffenheim.
Eintracht Frankfurt have been a crazy team in the German Bundesliga so far. They have won five of their eight games played in all competitions and are a very attack-minded team. This has led to Dino Toppmoller’s side claiming wins such as the 6-4 success against Borussia Monchengladbach. However, a 5-1 pasting at the hands of Atletico Madrid shows that when it does go wrong, it can go badly wrong!
The home side are the big outsiders here and it’s a dangerous game to meet fire with fire in an attempt to outscore their opponents. However, they might be a decent outside bet to get something from what is sure to be an entertaining game.
Goals Under/Over
It’s not very often you see Over 2.5 Goals trading at such a short price. The bookies have this at around the 1.28 mark which implies a roughly 78% chance that we see the net bulge at least three times. Furthermore, the Bundesliga betting sites think that there’s a 58% chance that we see Over 3.5 Goals land and four goals seems a likely outcome.
Let’s look at the basic evidence. There have been an average of five goals in Bayern Munich matches this season. Twenty-two of them have been scored by the German champions and it wouldn’t be a big surprise if Over 4.5 Goals lands considering the scoring form that Vincent Kompany’s side are enjoying.
There’s also been an incredible thirty goals scored in five Eintracht Frankfurt games played this term. It’s an astonishing average of six and this team are surely not going to compromise their attacking principles just because the champions are rolling into town.
BTTS
Both teams to score seems another likely outcome when you look at the stats. There’s around a 70% likelihood that we see BTTS Yes happening, with both sides having found the net in all of their games so far. Even when Eintracht Frankfurt have been the losers, they have found ways to score against Bayer Leverkusen, Union Berlin and Atletico Madrid.
On home soil, scoring goals has proven easy. They banged in four against Werder Bremen, five against Galatasaray and three against Union Berlin. It does seem implausible that they’ll fail to find the net although they’ll be up against a team who will have a lot of the ball and perhaps chances will be rarer.
As for Bayern, it surely can’t be the case that they will draw a blank. Twenty-two goals have been plundered in five top-flight games and there’s also been eight goals in the Champions League versus Chelsea and Pafos. The visitors tend to score three goals as a bare minimum and they’ll be relishing going up against a team who certainly won’t be putting men behind the ball.
First Goalscorer
Harry Kane looks set to break more records this season. The centre forward has ten goals on the board in the German Bundesliga already this term, with the former Spurs striker having eighteen in all competitions. There’s only been one game for club and country where Kane has failed to find the net, with Augsburg incredibly managing to be the only team who have been able to keep the England captain at bay.
He's a clear bet to score anytime and no reason why he won’t break the deadlock here. Nicolas Jackson has also started to feature since his switch from Chelsea and he might be given the opportunity to shine in this weekend clash. Luis Diaz is another former Premier League player who can operate dangerously from the wide positions, with Michael Olise also having an open goal threat.
Eintracht have a star player in the form of a teenager. Can Uzun scored in six consecutive games in all competitions before drawing a blank away to Atletico Madrid. The nineteen-year-old is enjoying a fantastic breakthrough season and he will now have his sights set on finding the net against the German champions.
