Game Preview
This weekend marks the return of the Bundesliga with a new set of games. On Saturday at Deutsche Bank Park, Eintracht Frankfurt will square off against a formidable Bayern Munich team.
Even though Bayern’s match against Union Berlin was postponed owing to severe snowfall last Saturday, their chances of winning the Bundesliga for a record 12 times were enhanced. This resulted from Bayer Leverkusen, the league leaders, dropping a pair of points by tying Borussia Dortmund 1-1 at home. As a result, the Bavarians possess a strong motive to defeat Frankfurt on Saturday in order to advance over Xabi Alonso‘s team at the summit. Due to Leverkusen’s inactivity until their Sunday visit to Stuttgart, which will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on their undefeated season, Bayern might erase the three-point deficit and overtake their competitors on goal differential. Having not played since their 1-1 tie versus Copenhagen on November 29th, head coach Thomas Tuchel could be a little worried about potential ring rust in his team. Bayern’s lackluster performance at Allianz Arena that evening may have been justified given that, with a pair of matches remaining within the Champions League group stage, they had made it out from Group A as winners.
In fact, Frankfurt had lost four straight games across all competitions when they returned in terrible shape after the previous international break in November. Two of these consisted of Bundesliga losses, first to Stuttgart, a high-flying team, and then to Augsburg the previous weekend. Head coach Dino Toppmoller won’t have been overly concerned with his team’s 2-1 home loss to PAOK because they have already advanced to the Europa Conference League knockout rounds. However, their DFB-Pokal midweek away loss to third division team Saarbrucken, which ended in a 2-0 score, was exceedingly disappointing. It is obvious that Frankfurt’s matchup with the defending champions Bayern is not ideal. Even this early in his employment, Toppmoller is bound to be feeling a lot of pressure given the team’s 2 victories in 6 league matches played at Deutsche Bank Park so far. As a result, they cannot afford to see Saturday’s big challenge as a free hit.
