There will be fireworks when Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munchen face each other in the Bundesliga derby.
Die Adler look unstoppable in 2021, with the team eyeing their fifth consecutive win in the national championship.
Eintracht Frankfurt have been impressive in front of goal of late, and we are positive that they will grab something from Saturday’s showdown at Deutsche Bank Park.
Since Andre Silva has been scoring goals for fun in the second half of the season, Luka Jovic is unlikely to return to the starting XI. Eintracht boss Adi Hutter should have a full squad to choose from.
The reigning champions, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-3 draw with Arminia Bielefeld, and seeing that all Gnabry, Goretzka, Costa, Martinez, and Muller have been struggling with injuries, home win should be considered. Djibril Sow is banned for the hosts.

Team News:
Frankfurt will be without Djibril Sow after the midfielder earned his fifth caution of the season during the win over Koln, with Sebastian Rode likely to come into the side as his replacement.
However, Hutter appears to have no injury issues to deal with, so is unlikely to change any other part of the side with it performing so well. That means Luka Jovic could be primed to make a huge impact from the bench.
Bayern, however, have considerably more selection issues, with Douglas Costa ruled out for the rest of the season with a broken ankle and Serge Gnabry unlikely to feature for a month due to a hamstring injury.
Thomas Muller remains unavailable due to his positive COVID-19 test, with Javi Martinez, Leon Goretzka, Alexander Nubel and Tanguy Nianzou all ruled out, too.
Benjamin Pavard and Joshua Kimmich should return to the starting XI in place of Bouna Sarr and Lucas Hernandez, with David Alaba returning to the back four.
Eric Choupo-Moting could be handed another opportunity behind Lewandowski.
Eintracht Frankfurt possible starting lineup:
Trapp; Tuta, Hinteregger, N'Dicka; Durm, Hasebe, Rode, Kostic; Kamada, Younes; Silva
Bayern Munich possible starting lineup:
Neuer; Pavard, Sule, Alaba, Davies; Kimmich, Tolisso; Sane, Choupo-Moting, Coman; Lewandowski
