Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction 21.02.2026 | Bundesliga

Bayern Munich are on course for their 35th Bundesliga trophy. With 12 league rounds left, the Bavarian team is six points ahead of the next team on the standings, Borussia Dortmund. Bayern Munich have been excellent lately, with three victories in a row across all competitions and a 10:1 goal difference. In the most recent outing, Vincent Kompany's team won 3-0 on the road against Werder Bremen. The guests controlled almost the whole game, and their victory never came in doubt.

Bayern's head coach, Vincent Kompany, was very satisfied after a big victory in Bremen. He said, "The main thing is to always keep going. If the team is in the same form as now, we can win a lot. That's what's important in the end."

Bayern's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer suffered an injury in the previous Bundesliga round. According to reports, a 39-year-old will miss the next three to four weeks with a torn muscle fiber. Luckily for Bayern, Neuer should be the only absence for Saturday.

Eintracht Frankfurt are far from the level of last season when they ended third in the Bundesliga. In the current campaign, Eintracht are closer to mid-table and will need almost perfect results over the next few months to secure another Champions League appearance. The team from Frankfurt had been struggling lately, on a nine-game winless run, before a 3-0 home win against Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend. Both sides had more than enough goal-scoring opportunities, but eventually, Eintracht's much better efficiency was enough for all three points.

In the second game as Eintracht Frankfurt's head coach, Albert Riera recorded a debut victory. He was naturally pleased after the match. He said, "Of course, after scoring three goals, I have a lot of positive and nice things to say. But I also look at it from another perspective, because my main focus is not the result or the 3-0 scoreline, but the progress made during the 90 minutes. We did many things well, but there are also many things we need to improve."

Eintracht Frankfurt have big problems with missing players. They will be without Michy Batshuayi, Jonathan Burkardt, Younes Ebnoutalib, Ansgar Knauff, Rasmus Kristensen, Arthur Theate, and Can Yilmaz Uzun on Saturday in Munich. Also, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Fares Chaibi are questionable.
