Bayern Munich v Eintracht Frankfurt German Cup Betting Tips
The most recent title for Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal was just back in 2016 when they beat Borussia Dortmund in a thrilling penalty shootout. Bayern Munich have once again been the all-dominant force on the German domestic scene, having wrapped up the Bundesliga title with some relative ease. So now they have the chance at landing the domestic double as they take on Eintracht Frankfurt in the German Cup final on Saturday. Bayern did suffer defeat in their last fixture which was a heavy 1-4 loss at home against Stuttgart in the Bundesliga. However this is the end of the season and nothing riding on the game and they probably would have had one eye on this fixture. Bayern have had to come through a couple of tough challenges on the route to the DFB Pokal final. They did open with an easy 5-0 win over Chemnitzer in the first round but then had to go up against RB Leipzig in the second round. That was a real challenge for Bayern Munich who had to rely on a penalty shootout to get through. Next up for them in the Cup was Borussia Dortmund, the reigning DFB Pokal champions. That was another tight affair for Bayern Munich but they battled through with a 2-1 success.
They did then make things look easy in the following couple of rounds scoring six goals past both SC Paderborn and Bayer Leverkusen to reach the final. Bayern Munich are heavy odds-on favourites to lift the title on the weekend and in the bet365 correct score market Bayern Munich 2-0 result is a 13/2 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 7:06 p.m. on May 18th, 2018).

Eintracht Frankfurt have put together another good cup run just as they did last season when they reached the final for the seventh time in their history. After they were beaten out in last season’s final by Borussia Dortmund, they are going to have another tough challenge getting their hands on the silverware this season. Eintracht Frankfurt didn’t have as tough of a route through the DFB Pokal this season as Bayern Munich go, their sternest challenge coming in the quarter-finals where they strolled to a win over Mainz before edging Schalke in the semi finals 1-0. They have taken four clean sheets in five cup matches this season but they did finish the Bundesliga season out of form, losing four of their last five games played. Eintracht Frankfurt have conceded at least three goals in three of their last five games played and given the might of the opposition that they are up against over 3.5 goals is at 11/10 odds with bet365* (Betting Odds taken at 7:06 p.m. on May 18th, 2018).
