Anthony Dabbundo gives his detailed thoughts, plus his top pick, for Friday's Bundesliga opening match between Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich.
My projections have Bayern as a 1.5-goal favorite, given I’m lower on Frankfurt than the market. Mané averaged 0.67 per 90 minutes in the Premier League. Apply an inflator of about 17% — based on historical averages — for him moving to the EPL and you get to about 0.8 per 90 minutes. The market has lowered Bayern a bit, based on league title odds. On the other, he did little else to provide value, through passing and pressing, at this stage of his career. Now, the Bavarians are without Robert Lewandowski and look to replace most of his production with former Liverpool forward Sadio Mané. Frankfurt will again be competing on two fronts in Bundesliga and Champions League, but an 11th-placed showing in the German top flight was even higher than underlying numbers suggested.
We go over everything you need to know for Eintracht Frankfurt vs. Bayern Munich on Matchday 1.
Regardless of history, Bayern is the safe pick here as they’ll look to get off to a flying start on their new campaign.

Even if you’re lagging behind the others, keep replying to the most recent call of the player’s name. It puts the newest comments at the top. Let’s see if the team can manage to live up to the hype. It’s not necessary to have the whole comments loaded at one time while you’re just casually following along. Any slip up is a disaster, any moment of weakness will reverberate through the fanbase and the media for weeks to come. Of course, for Julian Nagelsmann and the players, the objective remains the same.

The visitors are likely to score plenty of goals in these set-up. I think Bayern will have their noses in front over the course of the season again, because they have a really great team. However, we won’t be raising the white flag, but will do all we can to start the season with a win. Both were played in 2021, but in different seasons, and both saw the same score of 2-1. Interestingly, Frankfurt have won two of the last three matches in the Bundesliga between these teams. Nagelsmann’s side will be looking to start the season on a major note. The Munich club enjoyed a successful start to their second season under Julian Nagelsmann, winning the German Super Cup – as they had done the year before. The calendar at the start of the season has played a cruel trick on Eintracht. The team begins the new 22/23 campaign with three official matches in 10 days, and the first match against Bayern is by no means the most important one. The game was all but decided in the first half, but Glasner still forced Filip Kostic, Daichi Kamada and Djibril Sow to complete the match. Next week, meanwhile, Oliver Glasner`s men are set to face Real Madrid in the match for UEFA Super Cup. It is an important event for a relatively modest club by European standards. However, the Eagles compensated their failure in the domestic arena with a superb performance in the Europe. A sensational success in the Europa League last season allowed them to qualify for the Champions League, where Germany will have five teams this year. The trophy has provided the club with additional funds to strengthen their squad and save main stars.

Somehow, he avoids a yellow card from the referee, who has yet to go to his pocket this evening. However, he takes a stumble and somehow his shot comes back off the post. Gotze's corner delivery is met by Tuta, who rises highest and guides his header against the woodwork! Mane runs through Frankfurt's defence untroubled as he races down the left, looks up and unselfishly rolls it to Muller for what looks like a simple tap-in. Musiala's shot from distance takes a deflection and that takes it onto the crossbar! Musiala shoots from range but this time Trapp makes the stop.
