This weekend, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich, the top two teams in the Bundesliga, face off in what promises to be a decent encounter. With just a single point separating the sides, the stakes are high as both teams look to top the table before the latest International break.
Frankfurt, currently in second place, will be eager to impress at home, while Bayern, led up top by Harry Kane, aim to maintain their lead at the summit of the Bundesliga.

Prior to that, they drew 3-3 against Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League. Frankfurt’s consistency keeps them in contention for a potential top-four finish.

They have amassed 13 points from their first five matches, with their most recent league game ending in a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen.
Bayern’s attack, led by Harry Kane, has been dominant, netting 17 goals in their first five league matches.
