The England international striker is in spectacular form, and he is our key player to watch out for. He will look to open up opportunities for his teammates and add to his goal tally for the season. Eintracht Frankfurt have been quite poor defensively, and they have a negative goal difference in the league.

Kane could cause all sorts of problems for them and punish them in the final third. Bayern Munich will depend on the experienced striker to make a defining impact and get the job done this weekend.

Bayern Munich 3-1 Eintracht Frankfurt

Both teams will look to pick up a win here, but Bayern Munich are the better team, and they have the confidence and momentum. The hosts are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, and they have won three in a row.

Die Roten should be able to get the job done here. Eintracht Frankfurt bounced back with a win in their last league game, but this is a difficult challenge for them. They will find it difficult to contain the home team here. A comfortable victory for the home side is on the cards here. The Hard Tackle predicts a 3-1 win for Vincent Kompany and his charges.
