Eintracht Frankfurt will host Bayern Munich in the 2022-23 Bundesliga opener at Deutsche Bank Park on Friday night. Both sides are heading into the match on the back of victories in their previous games. The hosts had thrashed Magdeburg 4-0 in a DFB-Pokal first round match last Tuesday, while two days earlier, Bayern got the better of RB Leipzig 5-3 to lift the DFB-Supercup title. Frankfurt didn’t have a great domestic campaign last term, finishing 11 in the Bundesliga standings, however the Eagles managed to earn Champions League qualification by winning the Europa League title. The visitors, on the other hand, had won the 2021-22 Bundesliga title. 

Frankfurt had an impressive pre-season, winning three of their four friendlies. Meanwhile in their last match against Magdeburg, which was a DFB-Pokal tie, Oliver Glasner’s side netted four times without reply, courtesy of Daichi Kamada’s brace and one goal each from Jesper Lindstrom and Lucas Alario.The Eagles won the 2021-22 Europa League trophy by getting the better of Rangers, 5-4 on penalties, after the match had ended 1-1 in 120 minutes of play. Die Adler have bolstered their squad by signing some big names like Jenns Hauge,  Lucas Alario and Mario Gotze. 

Bayern, on the other hand, have made five summer signings in the form of Matthijs De Ligt, Sadio Mane, Mathys Tel, Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraouii. Meanwhile talismanic striker Robert Lewandowski has left the club to join Barcelona. The Bavarians faced a tight challenge against Leipzig last weekend, but goals from  Jamal Musiala, Sadio Mane, Benjamin Pavard, Serge Gnabry and Leroy Sane helped Julien Nagelsman’s side clinch their first title of the new season. Bayern participated in just two pre-season friendly games, winning the first one 6-2 against DC United before losing 1-0 to Manchester City.
