Eintracht Frankfurt have won just one of their last seven meetings with Bayern Munich, but this was a memorable 5-1 mauling two seasons ago, while their clash at Waldstadion almost exactly a year ago to the day produced a thrilling 3-3 draw.
The last 18 meetings between this pair have witnessed 79 goals, meaning a goal is scored every 20 and a half minutes on average.
Frankfurt vs Bayern Munich preview
Can Bayern Munich maintain their perfect start to the season in, what could prove to be, their toughest test of the campaign to date? So far in the Bundesliga, die Rekordmeister have won all five matches, scoring 22 goals and conceding just three, most-recently demolishing Werder Bremen 4-0 last Friday night. Then, on Tuesday, Vincent Kompany's team made it two wins out of two in the Champions League as well, swatting aside debutants Pafos, with Harry Kane bagging a brace in Limassol, while Raphaël Guerreiro, Nicolas Jackson and Michael Olise were also on target.
Overall, having progressed in the DFB-Pokal and picked up the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup, Bayern have won all nine matches they've played so far this season, scoring 35 goals already, netting at least thrice in each of their last eight outings. Domestic dominance in nothing new, considering they've collected 34 Meisterschales, more than every other club combined, winning the Bundesliga in 12 of the last 13 seasons. So, can they further assert their dominance with another victory on Saturday?
As for Eintracht Frankfurt well, if you want to guarantee goals, they're the team for you. So far, die Adler's five Bundesliga matches have witnessed a whopping 30 goals, with both teams scoring in all of them. Last weekend, Dino Toppmöller's team took this chaos to an extreme level, 6-0 up at Borussia Mönchengladbach inside 47 minutes, only to concede four times in the final 18 minutes, somewhat hanging on by the end. This means they've won three and lost two in the league so far.
Meantime, their Jekyll & Hyde nature has also come to the fore in the Champions League. On matchday one, Frankfurt came from a goal down to demolish Galatasaray 5-1 at home. However, on Tuesday, die Adler themselves were smashed 5-1 by Atlético Madrid, with Jonny Burkardt's goal at the Metropolitano scant consolation. Thus, is Saturday evening clash at Waldstadion certainly guarantees plenty of goal, so can Frankfurt become the first side this season to beat Bayern?

Frankfurt team news
Dino Toppmöller named an unchanged lineup for the mid-week trip to Madrid but, given that they were hammered, will he be tempted to tinker for this one?
USMNT-eligable Nathaniel Brown will start at left-back, while Oscar Højlund or Mario Götze could return to midfield, the latter hoping to face his former club.
Eintracht Frankfurt predicted lineup vs Bayern Munich: (4-3-3): Kauã Santos; Collins, Koch, Theate, Brown; Chaïbi, Skhiri, Uzun; Dōan, Knauff, Burkardt.

Bayern Munich team news
Vincent Kompany is without full-backs Alphonso Davies and Josip Stanišić due to injury, while star attacking midfielder Jamal Musiala is sidelined long-term, out until the winterpause after suffering a dislocated ankle against PSG during the Club World Cup.
In his absence, Nicolas Jackson started against Pafos, but Serge Gnabry could return here, with Michael Olise deployed centrally, looking to add to his five goals and six assists already this season.
At the back, Jonathan Tah will return as Dayot Upamecano's partner, with Kim Min-jae dropping out, while Raphaël Guerreiro will continue to deputise for Davies at left-back.
Bayern Munich predicted lineup vs Eintracht Frankfurt: (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Guerreiro; Kimmich, Pavlović, Olise, Gnabry, Luis Díaz; Kane.
Bayern Munich player to watch vs Frankfurt
Harry Kane's double against Werder Bremen saw him reach 100 goals in 104 appearances for Bayern, the fastest any player has scored 100 times for a single European club, reaching that milestone one match faster than Erling Braut Håland at Man City and Cristiano Ronaldo at Real Madrid. By bagging a brace in Limassol on Tuesday, Kane has 17 goals to his name already this season, registering two hat-tricks and five braces, so most would expect him to score at Waldstadion for the very first time.
