Bayern Munich can clinch the seventh consecutive Bundesliga title when they host top-four chasing Eintracht Frankfurt in the last game of the season at Allianz Arena.


BAY vs FRK Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
This is by far the closest Bundesliga title race in recent years. Even the Champions League places aren’t decided yet and the table will take its final shape only on the pivotal week of the 2018-19 season of German football.

That said, the Meisterschale is expected to head to the familiar shores as Bayern Munich are in the pole position, holding their destiny in their own hands. As things stand, they are two points clear of challenger Borussia Dortmund and considering they have a +17 goal-difference over the BVB, even a draw would be enough for Bayern to clinch their seventh consecutive title win.

But this is a one-off game. The stakes are as high as they can be, not only for the Bavarian giants but for Eintracht Frankfurt as well, who are chasing the Champions League football for the first time since losing in the final of the 1960 edition.

Frankfurt have a clear goal; win the match at Allianz Arena, and hope Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen drop points in their respective games.

The Bundesliga match will be played between Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt at Allianz Arena, in Munich, Bavaria. The ground has a capacity of 75,000.
