The 2022-23 edition of the Bundesliga kicks off with its first set of matches this weekend as Bayern Munich lock horns with Eintracht Frankfurt on Friday.

Bayern Munich have dominated the league for over a decade and will be intent on making the perfect start to their title defense.

Eintracht Frankfurt finished in 11th place in the Bundesliga standings last season and largely failed to meet expectations over the course of their campaign. The home side eased past FC Magdeburg with a 4-0 scoreline last week and will need to work hard to win this game.

Bayern Munich are the reigning Bundesliga champions and defeated RB Leipzig 5-3 to win the DFL Supercup last month. The Bavarian giants have lost a few big names in the transfer market and have a point to prove this week.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich Prediction

Bayern Munich have an array of lethal players in their ranks and can be unstoppable on their day. With Robert Lewandowski now at Barcelona, the likes of Sadio Mane and Serge Gnabry will need to shoulder the goalscoring burden for the reigning champions.

Eintracht Frankfurt are capable of pulling off an upset on their day but will need to play out of their skins to stand a chance this week. Bayern Munich are the better team on paper and should be able to win this game.

Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 0-2 Bayern Munich
