The new German Bundesliga season opens with a mammoth clash on Friday night as perennial heavyweights Bayern Munich travel to last season's Europa League champions Eintracht Frankfurt to kick-off the defense of their domestic title.
Bayern Munich won the Bundesliga title at a canter last season, easing up over the final few weeks of the season as the title was officially confirmed with a three-game winless run, yet still won the Bundesliga crown by a full eight points over second-place Borussia Dortmund.
Eintracht Frankfurt for their part struggled a lot last season domestically, ranking all the way down in 11th in the table and were even worse at home, being placed firmly in the relegation zone if their form in Deutsche Bank Park was the only factor on the season.
