Three straight German top flight champions FC Bayern Munich (22-2-3, 69 points) will look to pad their lead for the top spot and claim their fourth consecutive Meisterschale as they face bottom three squad Eintracht Frankfurt (6-12-9, 27 points) at the Allianz Arena on Saturday, April 2nd for a 2015-2016 Bundesliga match.
The two teams are in opposite ends of the league table as Bayern is currently on a two-game winning run after surprisingly being winless in their previous two matches while Eintracht failed to win in five of their last six outings to drop near the bottom of the standings.
Bayern nipped FC Cologne, 1-0, on March 19th at the RheinEnergieStadion in a game that Thomas Müller took a day off, as reported by BBC Sport.
Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, currently the season's top scorer with 25 goals, scored the lone goal of the match at the 10th minute for outgoing manager Pep Guardiola. After that, both teams went scoreless for the rest of the way as the Bavarians seemed to be pacing themselves for the remaining seven games of the season.
With the win, Der FCB kept a five-point lead over second-running Borussia Dortmund in the overall standings.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt pulled off a much-needed 1-0 win over cellar-dwelling club Hannover 96 at the Commerzbank Arena also on March 19th, as per ESPN.
Tunisian midfielder Anis Ben-Hatira scored the winning goal at the 33rd minute for manager Niko Kovač's side as they added three points to their overall tally and join Augsburg and Hoffenheim in a three-way tie on points.
Eintracht needs to string a few wins if they want to avoid relegation to 2. Bundesliga next season or at least give them a fighting chance to survive in the relegation playoffs.
Augsburg is ahead of Hoffenheim and Die Adler even if they are all tied on points because of a superior goal differential of -10 as compared to the -13 and -14 of the two aforementioned squads respectively.
However, facing Bayern in this match right at the Bavarian's home field is certainly not so favorable for Kovač and his men.
The predicted result is a 4-0 romp for Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich starting lineup (4-1-4-1 formation): Neuer; Rafinha, Kimmich, Alaba, Bernat; Alonso; Coman, Müller, Thiago, Costa; Lewandowski
Eintracht Frankfurt starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Hradecky; Chandler, Zambrano, Russ, Djakpa; Stendera, Reinartz; Aigner, Huszti, Ben-Hatira; Seferovic
