Pre-match information:
Date: on the 22nd of December, 2018 (Saturday)
Match start: 18:30 (GMT+1)
Tournament: Bundesliga
The Saturday program of the 17th round of Bundesliga will please us with an interesting battle between Eintracht and Bayern. This match is so attractive that last season Niko Kovač was the coach of the Eagels with whom he has won over his future football club the DFB-Pokal final match.
Lately Eintracht has seriously slowed down. Yes, in 5 previous matches the Eagles have won over Augsburg, Bayer and have tied with Mainz.
But the defeats from Wolfsburg and Hertha have seriously worsened the situation of the Red and Blacks. Now Eintracht takes the 5th line being behind the Champions League zone only with one point.
Of course, the Eagles will try to fight with the defending champion and the current team of Niko Kovač on home stadium so the guests will have a difficult time there.
Bayern after a series of unclear matches and defeats is coming to life. After the draw with Fortuna the club from Munich has gained 4 victories in a row over Werder, Nürnberg, Hannover and Leipzig with the final result 10-1.
More than that due to the dificcult victory over the Red Bulls, the team has cut the lag from Borussia Dortmund up to 6 points as the Bumblebees have lost for the 1st time this season in Düsseldorf.
Now Bayern can’t lose points any more but Eintracht is very strong rival which can get under the skin of the team of Niko Kovač.
