BERLIN, OCT 4 – Bayern Munich will travel to Eintracht Frankfurt this Sunday in an attempt to improve their form after dropping points in two consecutive games.
Vincent Kompany’s team started the season brilliantly when they recorded six consecutive wins, but were held 1-1 by defending champions Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga last Sunday.
A 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the Champions League last Wednesday increased the pressure on the German giants.
Frankfurt, who have enjoyed a brilliant start to the season, are now just one point behind Bayern, who are still top of the league.
The recent head-to-head record between the two teams has been evenly matched, with each team winning three of the last seven meetings, while the other ended in a draw.
In last season’s meeting, Frankfurt stunned Bayern with a 5-1 victory, which exposed a significant weakness in the Munich team, which ended the season trophyless.
Matches between the two teams often create surprises, with unexpected results and full of action.
One of the most memorable matches was Frankfurt’s 3-1 win in the 2018 German Cup final, which saw Bayern then hire Frankfurt coach Niko Kovac. – AFP
