Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich: Tips, Odds, and Match Preview

Frankfurt and Bayern Munich played in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week, though both sides have opposite results. While Frankfurt suffered a devastating 5-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in Spain, Bayern Munich didn’t have problems in defeating Cyprus minnows Pafos by the exact same result (W 5-1).

Bayern Munich’s goal is to continue their perfect campaign in the Bundesliga, while Frankfurt are looking for a bounce-back performance, but they couldn’t have wished for a worse opponent to face to achieve that goal, as it seems no team in Europe can handle Bayern Munich right now.

Frankfurt Aiming to Bounce Back After Heavy Loss

Frankfurt are coming off their worst result of the season in midweek after suffering a 5-1 loss to Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League. That shows a trend that has been consistent this season, as Frankfurt have relied on their scoring prowess to get good results in 2025-26. They netted five past Galatasaray in their Champions League opener (W 5-1) and have scored 17 times in five Bundesliga contests so far, a tally that’s only surpassed by – you guessed it! – Bayern Munich (21).

It's not as if Frankfurt are scoring and preventing goals, though. Each of Frankfurt’s last five matches in all competitions have ended with at least five goals, so it’s easy to see this game being a high-scoring contest as well, and all of their Bundesliga games in the current term have featured both teams scoring and at least three goals. That’s a scenario that could easily happen again in this match.

Frankfurt Injury & Suspension News

Frankfurt will be without Rasmus Kristensen due to a muscular problem, while Jessic Ngankam is questionable due to a leg problem. All things considered, though, Frankfurt should face this game in good shape from an injury perspective.

Can Anyone Stop Bayern Munich’s Elite Attack?

That seems to be the question everyone is asking right now – both in the Bundesliga and the UEFA Champions League. Vincent Kompany’s men extended their perfect start to the season with a 5-1 win over Pafos in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, a result that gave Die Roten nine wins out of nine matches in all competitions while scoring an average of nearly 4.0 goals per contest.

The trio of Harry Kane, Luis Diaz and Michael Olise has been unstoppable, both at the domestic and European level, and there are no signs of them slowing down any time soon. Bayern are far from being a perfect team, however, and they do have some issues to solve. The main one lies in their defensive play, as they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in three of their last four games, including allowing goals to both Chelsea and Pafos in the Champions League. Bayern don’t need to be perfect defensively to get results, however, because as long as their attack continues to thrive, few teams in the world will be able to compete with them over the course of 90 minutes.

Bayern Munich Injury & Suspension News

Bayern Munich will remain without Alphonso Davies (knee) and Jamal Musiala (broken collarbone), and both players are still weeks away from being considered an option for Kompany. Josip Stanisic (knee), Hiroki Ito (foot) and Jonas Urbig (groin) are also sidelined and without a clear return date.

Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Bayern Munich are widely expected to keep their winning streak alive in this match, as Frankfurt aren’t the best defensive team. If they struggled to deal with Atletico Madrid, they’re also likely to face similar problems trying to contain Bayern Munich. However, Bayern aren’t the strongest side on defense either and have conceded goals in three of their last four matches in all competitions. Don’t be surprised if this game ends up being a high-scoring affair, which is why we’re aiming for the over on the market of 3.5 total goals.
