Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich Bundesliga 2022/23 Match Preview
Eintracht Frankfurt had one of the best seasons in the club’s history since their DFB-Pokal triumph 2017–18. The Eagles won the UEFA Europa League at the expense of the Rangers through the spot.
Frankfurt was unbeaten in the Preseason with three victories in four games. The Eagles eased past Magdeburg in the First Round of the DFB-Pokal last weekend.
Head coach Oliver Glasner led Frankfurt to their second major European football trophy, his first career trophy. The Austrian would lead the side against a dominant Bayern side before taking on Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup.
Bayern Munich will be without Robert Lewandowski, who joined Barcelona last month. But the exit of the Pole may not stand as an obstacle.
The Bavarians did some good business in the transfer window by signing big names like Sadio Mané, Matthijs de Ligt and Gravenberch Ryan.
Bayern Munich began the new season with a convincing 3-5 win in the Germany Super Cup against RB Leipzig.
