Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich will kick off the Bundesliga 2022/23 campaign on Friday evening. The home side will search for a surprise at the start of the season, while the defending champions want to return home with all three points.
Eintracht Frankfurt Preview & Team News
Although they could have done better in Bundesliga last season, the hosts will play in the Champions League group stage. They ended the previous campaign by winning the Europa League, and they have had a very good pre-season. However, Eintracht Frankfurt hasn’t won in domestic competitions eight times in a row. They want to break that negative record, but the defending champions come to town. Filip Kostic scored four goals last season, but his assists brought the team many points. Despite many rumors, the Serbian international remained in Frankfurt. Jerome Ongene (thigh muscle strain) and Aurelio Butta (knee operation) are unavailable for Eintracht Frankfurt boss Oliver Glasner.
Bayern Munich Preview & Team News
The new era in Munich began after Robert Lewandowski left the club to join Barcelona. Bayern brought some fresh blood upfront by signing teenage star Mathys Tel from Rennes. They’ve also secured the signatures of Matthijs de Ligt, Sadio Mané, and Ryan Gravenberch. Indicating their bias toward high-scoring matches, we’ve had goals 27 times in the prior six matches in which Bayern Munich have taken to the field, making it a mean average of 4.5 goals per meeting. Their opponents have managed 11 of those goals. Previous results aside, it remains to be seen if that pattern will be replicated in this upcoming match. Sadio Mane arrived as a replacement for Lewandowski and, already in the pre-season games, showed class, and Bayern got a huge reinforcement. Julian Nagelsmann does a great job, and the young expert shows why he is one of the best coaches in the world.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although Bayern lost twice in the last three games in Frankfurt, the defending champions are set for a positive start. Therefore, we expect them to win and start another title race successfully.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams were involved in many high-scoring matches last season, and this one shouldn’t be much different. We believe these two sides will produce at least four goals in total on Friday evening.
