Struggling team Eintracht Frankfurt is scheduled to face the undefeated league leader, Bayern München at the Commerzbank Arena on October 30, Friday as the 2015-2016 Bundesliga season goes on.
Eintracht suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to third tier side Erzgebirge Aue for the German Cup, causing even more upset among the fans.
Last weekend they ended a five-game winless streak with a 2-1 away victory over Hannover as they remain in 12th placeof the league standings with 12 points from 10 matches played.
They will try to become the first team to stop Bayern’s 11 match winning run in the Bundesliga.
Currently they are nowhere near Bayern’s standards.
A team that was not capable to beat a lower division team cannot realistically cause problems for mighty Bayern Munich.
A comfortable 3-1 away win against holders Wolfsburg for the German Cup.
Lewandowski was not on the score sheet this time, after scoring 5 in 9 minutes in the league clash between the two sides, as Muller scored a brace following Douglas Costa’s opening goal.
They have won all ten matches they have played so far in the Bundesliga, their latest victim was Koln as they defeated them 4-0 at home.
Arjen Robben made a goal scoring return in the last league outing and everybody knows how important he is for the team.
They seem unstoppable in the domestic competitions as they are breaking all existing records with their achievements.
A performance at their usual standards will give them another comfortable win against Eintracht Frankfurt.
