Title chasing Bayern Munich welcome a Frankfurt side that will be optimistic of securing a Champions League finish come the end of the campaign. The initial meeting between these sides produced 6 goals in a 3-3 thriller, with more goals expected here as Bayern look to continue their dominant record at the Allianz Arena this season which has seen them win 10 of their 11 assignments at home.
Match Stats – Goals expected at the Allianz Arena
The Bundesliga is known for its tendency to produce high scoring and entertaining affairs and with the attacking talent on show here, we can expect similar with two of the top performing sides in Germany facing off.
Frankfurt have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 games across all competitions, Dino Toppmoller’s side have stumbled slightly since the early parts of the season and are missing an attacking element ever since the departure of Omar Marmoush to Man City. But, they still have found goals from other sources.
Bayern were unconvincing themselves in progressing through to the next round of the Champions League with a last minute equaliser from Alphonso Davies required to secure their progression at the expense of Celtic. Vincent Kompany’s side have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 5 games across all competitions and their home record could be the difference here with 37 goals scored across their 11 games at the Allianz Arena this term.
The initial meeting between these sides produced 6 goals in a 3-3 thriller, as mentioned Frankfurt are now without who was their biggest attacking threat in Marmoush, who had a hand in all 3 of those goals in the initial meeting (2 goals, 1 assist). This should result in a similar scenario for Frankfurt to the one they’ve struggled with in recent weeks, they should be able to breach an unconvincing Bayern backline, but killing the game off could be tricky.
Predictions:
- BTTS @ 1.57
- BTTS and Bayern to win @ 1.91
Shot Stats – Olise the standout
Michael Olise has been one of the best players in the Bundesliga this season, he’s registered 13 goal contributions across his 22 Bundesliga appearances this campaign (6 goals, 7 assists) whilst averaging 3.06 shots and 1.30 shots on target per 90.
This shot volume was evident in the initial meeting between the sides in which Olise scored and had 6 attempts on goal, with 3 of these efforts finding the target. Olise’s ability to come inside on his left foot and take aim at goal informs this positive shot record, he’s part of a Bayern side that managed 13 shots on target in the initial meeting between these sides.
Bayern’s attacking ability at home is imposing and incredibly difficult to neutralise as evidenced by the fact they’ve scored 37 goals at home this campaign – significantly more than any other side in the Bundesliga. Furthermore, in the potential absence of Harry Kane, Olise can step up to fill the void left by the veteran striker which is an absence that should aid his shot count here.
Bayern Munich are averaging 8.0 shots on target per game in the Bundesliga (1st) and Olise can continue his impressive record in the German top flight and cause damage to a faltering Frankfurt side.
Predictions:
- Micheal Olise 1+ shots on target @ 1.3
- Micheal Olise 3+ shots @ 1.5
- Micheal Olise to score/assist @ 1.83
Card Stats – Skhiri will be busy in the middle of the park
Ellyes Skhiri will have a tough job on his hands on Sunday afternoon against a Bayern side that are expected to dominate possession and cause Frankfurt plenty of problems through the middle of the park, particularly through Jamal Musiala.
Skhiri has collected 4 yellow cards this season which is the joint most in the Frankfurt squad whilst averaging 0.84 fouls committed per 90. This is a fouls record we can expect to increase when considering that Frankfurt are likely to be outnumbered in the middle of the park by Bayern, with Dino Toppmoller preferring to play with two players in midfield compared to Bayern’s three.
Ellyes Skhiri: What the Tunisian International Can Provide to Eintracht’s Midfield
Skhiri will be up against Jamal Musiala who is a player that will naturally increase his defensive load given that Musiala is averaging 3.06 fouls won per 90 in the Bundesliga this season. Skhiri will need to keep an eye on the elusive 21-year-old who can draw fouls with ease, which should lead to a yellow card or two being shown in the direction of Frankfurt’s midfielders.
Predictions:
- Skhiri 1+ fouls committed @ 1.57
- Skhiri 2+ fouls committed @ 3.5
- Skhiri to be shown a card @ 4.5
