In Round 17 of the Bundesliga on Saturday, December 22, the Eintracht Frankfurt – Bayern Munich match will be played. The match will take place on “Commerzbank-Arena” starting at 17:30.
The “eagles” missed the chance to climb fourth, after they drew in Mainz 2-2. Although they were led in two rows, they returned each time thanks to Jovic’s goals. Having reached 12 goals scored this season, the Serb splits first position in the Alcacer scorers. Although it has only been a victory in the last four stages, Frankfurt seems closer than ever to a Champions League qualification. Only one point separates from Leipzig, occupying the 4th place. The only participation in the prestigious interclub competition dates back to the 1959-1960 season, when it managed to reach the final act of the competition. As the year is about to be 120 years from its inception, a Champions League participation would really be a crown.
On the other hand, the Bavarians were struggling to take advantage of Borussia Dortmund’s improper step, imposing 1-0 on Leipzig. Ribery scored the only goal in the 83rd minute, while Sanches was eliminated nine minutes later after seeing the second yellow card. Thus, Bayern now hopes to further reduce the gap that separates it from the leader. It would be the first time he would reach five consecutive victories in the Bundesliga under the command of Niko Kovac. In the previous eight runs, Bayern did not score any results. Moreover, in seven of these, Lewandowski & co. scored at least two goals. Robben, Rodriguez and Tolisso are injured and will not evolve.
In the last direct confrontation disputed at the start of the Super Cup season, Bayern scored 5-0. It was the 7th success in the last 10 straight games. In five of these games, Bayern scored at least three goals.
PREDICTION: Bayern Munich to win @ 1.52
