Betting Tips
It’s a game that should have been a 0-3 win to Bayern, given how well the German champions dominated from the first whistle. This side do not lose – or at least never like they’re about to do when down a goal.
The 0-3 scoreline is harsh for Eintracht and ignores that they had chances to get themselves back in it. Both teams will have learnt a lesson and will want to keep it that way.
Bernd Leno has been outstanding for Bayern, with further competition coming from Manuel Neuer, yet this Bayern side are far from one-dimensional. They have also adapted to playing in a back-three and the array of skills being played in attack is immense.
Eintracht have been hit with three significant injuries to key men in the group and the home side could face a mountain to climb.
Verdict
It may well have been a little more one-sided in terms of goals but the best-ever Bundesliga encounter is when Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund go head to head at the Allianz Arena in 2014. This is an extremely difficult tie to call as it should be a 50/50 split.
