Would have said Bayern Munich have lost their cool in winning games after this game they lost to Aston Villa but I think is too early for that, they have other games coming up and different titles to fight for and this isn't the end of every struggle Vincent Kompany and his men have started to achieve something just to cover for last season's loss. Although Aston Villa made them look too small for getting that goal, Bayern Munich need to be aware that other teams have mastered their kind of play and how they make opponent struggle to defend and still try to play the ball forward, last night came as a big surprise when Aston Villa managed to contain the pressure and pour it back at them to get that wonderful goal by the subtitude. I only feel for their next opponent in the German Bundesliga the weekend.
As for Bayern, they played so badly in this game. They struggled against a low-block defense like Aston Villa's (5 backs). Their players could do nothing in this game.
Their player, Gnabry, alone could've helped them to win this if he had not been so wasteful. He has received some golden moments, but he missed them all.
Bayern shall have learned to break down low blocks. I expect their opponents to use the same strategy as Aston Villa.
A sad evening for Bayern Munich as Aston villa won the game with a narrow 1:0 victory completely whisking away full three points from Bayern Munich.
Many people are very enthusiastic about this match and many predictions related to the victory of Bayern Muich which is favored from Aston Villa. Fur sure. But the fact, we are also surprised enough with the result. Aston Villa really can win, even with only 1 goal victory from Jhon Duran. Everyone cheered when the goal moment happened.

Dortmund looks like a team that just pick form now, after having some inconsistent performances in their first games of the season, their players now know and understand each others better, and they have started to show their good performance in both Bundesliga and the Champions League as we can see in their last matches. They will get back on track, but I don’t think they can contend for this title with Leverkusen and Munich because they looks stronger than Dortmund.
Dortmund should at least be able to finish in the top four of the league to secure a spot in the Champions League. In the Bundesliga, Dortmund has only lost once in five matches, which I think is still understandable, with the opportunity to narrow the points gap still wide open in the future. Meanwhile, Nuri Sahin squad has been quite impressive in the Champions League this season, many didn't expect them to humiliate Celtic with a 7-1 score. Most of the players Nuri Sahin has are leftovers from Edin Terzic, who last season managed to reach the final against Real Madrid in the Champions League. With some adjustments in the transfer market, Dortmund still seems to be able to pressure Bayern Munich and Leverkusen in the race for the Bundesliga trophy and make a big statement in the Champions League in this season. 
Any thoughts on the Eintracht Vs Bayern this Sunday?
Eintracht is doing surprisingly good this season with 4 wins and 1 loss (to Borussia Dortmund) which currently give them a 2nd place in the table, only 1 point behind Bayern. But that could be due to rather easy matches they played.
Does anyone think they are strong enough to have a chance of winning, or at least earning 1 point on Bayern, or do you expect Bayern's easy win?
Frankfurt did quite OK last season, finished 6th, but they were 16 points behind the 5th Borussia Dortmund, which shows there was a big gap between the top 5 and the rest of the league.
The odds are:
Frankfurt: x5.60
Draw: x5.00
Bayern: x1.46

Although Eintracht at this moment has points close to Bayern Munich, but I am still very sure that Bayern Munich is still able to win even though playing away. Because I think, at this moment Bayern Munich's tough rival is still Bayer Leverkusen and thus, the previous match when Bayer Leverkusen against Bayern Munich can be used as a reference. At least, in my opinion, Bayer Leverkusen is still a good team compared to Eintracht, so I am sure Bayern Munich will still be able to beat Eintracht. Because after all, Bayer Leverkusen also only focuses on playing defensively against Bayern Munich and that means, I am sure Bayern Munich is still in a very good trend at this moment so playing away against Eintracht does not seem to be an obstacle for Bayern Munich to get three points.
Although yes as we see that now Frankfurt is in second place in the table which means they are one of the strong competitors in the current situation, but one of the reasons why I have enough confidence in Bayern Munich is because it is clear that there is a significant difference between the two clubs, Bayern Munich is a top class team that has a very good reputation in the Bundesliga where they are also former defending champions for almost more than a decade, meaning that their performance is no longer in doubt, while Frankfurt is a middle class team, although they are quite consistent in ending the season in the middle of the standings but I think it is not comparable when compared to Bayern Munich, but we'll see later, because after all Bayern Munich will play away, I hope Kompany can maintain his consistency in getting full points.
The away game may be a challenge for Bayern Munich. Because they have a lot of fans in England who support Aston Villa. Bayern Munich will not lose any game they play in Germany. Because their crowd support is incredible. They have also built a very high-quality squad this year. With a few touches and the biggest change in the coaching staff, many positive things have happened to the team. The strong teams of the Bundesliga are progressing very well in the Champions League this year. Another important victory was Borussia Dortmund's 7-1 victory.
Bayern Munich may not find it difficult to contain Aston villa as it is being speculated. The Bayern side have got all it takes to beat Aston villa despite the fact that Aston Villa have the home advantage, Bayern Munich are very familiar with the UEFA champions league and have so much experience than Aston villa hence they stand a better chance than the home side. The German teams are doing so well in the champions league and might all qualify for the next round if they maintain this pace of consistency as they seek to proceed. 
Bayern Munich are in their best form right now so they are still favored to win the match against Aston Villa in the Champion League match and I think the away match will not have much effect on the Bayern Munich team, especially Kompany has coached a Premier League team so he understands the atmosphere in the Premier League.
On the other hand, the Aston Villa team at the beginning of this season has not found its best performance, they are not that good in the Premier League so I am sure Bayern Munich will be able to continue their positive trend to win the match later.
Bayern Munich are now very strong, from what they have achieved so far, the team's confidence has increased and Kompany has been quite successful in making changes in the Bayern Munich team.
Bayern Munich has always been a strong team, Kompany just made them remember that part, last year when Leverkusen won, Bayern wasn't a bad team and they just lost a little bit of hope, with Kompany firing them up again, and giving them courage, they became great again.On the other hand, the Aston Villa team at the beginning of this season has not found its best performance, they are not that good in the Premier League so I am sure Bayern Munich will be able to continue their positive trend to win the match later.
Bayern Munich are now very strong, from what they have achieved so far, the team's confidence has increased and Kompany has been quite successful in making changes in the Bayern Munich team.
What a manager does at that level is just keeping everything working, rarely strategy and tactics work, even subs during the game has very little to do with the result unless you make a major major mistake, like if you are behind and take a striker out and put a defender in, yeah obviously a mistake but managers at this level rarely make obvious mistakes there. So, what do they do? They train them to be good, and get along well, and be happy. If your players are giving 100% at Bayern Munich level, then you are going to win.
If there is no arguments in the locker room, if there is no distain from the manager, if all is well and players provide their very best then they are going to win. This is what Kompany turned out to be good at, which none of us ever knew beforehand. He is actually making everyone play their best game, when you do that, you can play with any formation you want and you will still win without a doubt.
Currently Bayern Munich is the strongest team in Bundesliga which I expected them to win the league, my main reason for this is the way they started the funny part is that each second that passes by they get stronger so I consider Munich to take the place, considering their performance this season with Last season they have actually improved, Leverkusen make the league looks so interesting on how they move from nothing to something, that was a great achievement for the entire team. Kompany too his putting is best to improve the club which was quite impressive, I want him to break alonso record for running the league unbeaten.
Yes, Bayern Munich is currently the strongest squad in the Bundesliga, they have good and quality players than the defending Champions Bayer Leverkusen and with this perfect start they have this season, I think Vincent Kompany has corrected all the mistakes that was made by the previous managers to bring Bayern Munich back to form and they are showing the quality this season and they can go unbeaten just as Leverkusen did last season.Quote
On the other hand Borussia Dortmund actually tried their own best to grap what fall on them, they took the advantage of those teams to accumulate points, I felt for Borussia Dortmund if they didn't win those matches.

On the paper probably Bayern Munich can easily to beat Frankfurt but i personally didn't think it too simple because although if we see based on head to head statistics Bayern Munich is much better than Frankfurt but this is home match for Frankfurt and at their home ground Frankfurt can able to beat Bayern Munich with huge scores 5-1 last year besides that Frankfurt can gets 3 wins from 5 home matches against Bayern Munich so these records is proven Frankfurt sometimes can able to performing well and hard to beated at their home Eintracht is doing surprisingly good this season with 4 wins and 1 loss (to Borussia Dortmund) which currently give them a 2nd place in the table, only 1 point behind Bayern.

The odds for Bayern Munich probably is very tempting to bets because it showed they are the favourite but Frankfurt has a potention to make Bayern Munich gets in trouble so although Bayern Munich is the favourite of this match but i was a bit doubt they can able to overcomes Frankfurt and for me personally if talking about betting options for this match then probably both teams to scores or over 2.5 goals good pick

Sometimes there is home advantage due to fans motivating their players. One of the reasons is that when teams play at home, their performances often improve. However, the truth is that when the opponent is stronger, even if a team is playing at home, it won't stop the stronger team from winning.so in this case as Bayern Munich playing against Aston Villa at Aston Villa's home doesn't necessarily mean that Aston Villa will win. However, they may put in more effort to have a good game and make their fans happy, which could make the game difficult for Bayern Munich. Honestly, with Bayern Munich's current form, I can't say Aston Villa has a strong chance of winning, but they might be lucky enough to get a draw.
The three Germany teams in the Champions League are really having impressive results, and that shows they are strong teams. But from my observations, these results might just be because they are facing average teams. I will only believe these three teams are truly strong when they play against teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, or Barcelona. Still, I am impressed by their performances so far.

This match is what brought Vincent Kompany back to England, but with a different team. This match may have a special value for Kompany, maybe he wants to show it with his team Bayern Munich. No matter even though it is an away match and watched by Aston Villa supporters, Kompany's job is to bring Munich to get full points over the home team. In addition, even though it is an away match, Bayern is still more favored than the home team. Aston Villa with odds @4.60, while Bayern Munich with @1.72. It is clear that Munich's probability of winning this match is higher based on the betting exchange. As for Aston Villa, I am sure that Unai Emery is very aware that their opponent is not an easy team to beat. Even though they are playing at home, Bayern Munich is a giant team in the German League and also has a lot of experience in the Champions League. What makes me curious is whether Aston Villa will play offensively. If so, maybe the match will be more interesting and has the potential to produce many goals from both teams. My estimate is that Bayern will get full points over Aston Villa.

Bayern is doing very well and have refused to bow down for anyone because if you should even look at the current record of how they are winning it is not looking good at all because they are winning people without feelings and they want to win the Bundesliga trophy and they are already doing in the Champions League with this momentum it shows that they have a shot in both leagues. And the case of bayern is a practical example of do not judge a book by its cover, at first they were critized by their actions last season but now everything is totally different for them and am not their fan but am loving everything already.
Bayern wants to keep an unbeaten record and that is going to be nice and they they are closing doors on Leverkusen this time around. And they are not given them the slightest chances. They have build a more stronger club this period. Just that Aston Villa that they are playing against is not going to an easy. And they are progressing as usual and that is for the club's that are already strong in the Bundesliga. Dortmund and bayern are known for their dangerous ways of scoring.

It is a quite interesting one. Because Frankfurt can really counter Bayern Munich well. There are good examples of it. In the games played at the stadium of Frankfurt I mean. The last one there ended up with a whopping 5-1 victory for Frankfurt. Really insane right?
I'm not saying a similar scenario will happen. But considering Frankfurt are only 1 point behind too, this can be a tough one for Kompany's students.Bayern Munich are going to have a one-day rest advantage over them. Because Frankfurt play their Europa League game tomorrow. BTTS @1.47 seems safer than a bet on Bayern Munich win.

This is a very interesting match to watch because this match will be an opportunity for both teams to occupy the first rank in the 6th week. Of course, Eintracht if they win will overtake Bayern Munich and vice versa, even Bayern Munich widens the points gap with their rivals, Bayer Leverkusen.Eintracht is doing surprisingly good this season with 4 wins and 1 loss (to Borussia Dortmund) which currently give them a 2nd place in the table, only 1 point behind Bayern.

Last season when Bayern Munich played at Eintracht's home they lost 5-1, and Eintracht started the season very impressively they got four wins and one loss of course this is a good capital for the host to face Bayern Munich who have become strong under coach Kompany.
The betting exchange is indeed as you said Bayern Munich is indeed very favored in this match but considering Eintracht has performed well so far and has good capital because last season they beat Bayern Munich so I think this match will be fierce and tight. I will bet on the total goals because I predict both teams will score.
Bayern Munich's performance is much better now but it is too early to say that they will win the Bundesliga title this season, the competition will be very fierce because several other Bundesliga teams also have good performances.
Yeah is truth that Bayern Munich have a wonderful performance this season unlike how their performances be last season, but this season there able to claim the top standing right from the beginning of the season and we all know that the Bundesliga always becomes tough competition every season; because their also a strong team that have better squad than Bayern Munich, so in this case we can’t give them the full hope that they can able to go with this performances without draw a single points.For now I have no doubt that Bayern Munich can continue their positive trend in the Bundesliga or the Champion League, for the UCL match against Aston Villa it might not be difficult for Bayern Munich because overall Bayern Munich's strength is much stronger, especially since Bayern Munich is in high confidence after a series of good results that they got so that it is very likely that they can return to showing their best performance.
Honestly they cannot continue go with this trend because currently now their only ahead of the Frankfurt with just one point which possibly in their next match they might come down to the second position, and even the Leverkusen that where seeing their performances unserious; we should just give them a little time they might come up with unexpected.
The match will be a very crucial match for both teams, Bayern Munich makes the match as one of the efforts to maintain their position and widen their distance from the pursuit of Frankfurt, as well as Frankfurt who certainly has ambitions to be able to seize Munich current position although it is difficult to do, but we also cannot avoid surprises that may occur in the match (such as Leverkusen being defeated by Leipzig) so that maybe Frankfurt can also get points from Munich, but apart from all that, I think the match will be quite exciting and both teams that have big ambitions will of course exert all their abilities to win the match, looking at the ability and also the consistency that Frankfurt and Munich have at the moment then maybe we will see one of the teams will win with a very narrow score in the match.
I don't think Bayern is concerned about Eintracht overtaking them. The Frankfurt team is doing very well, but we're only 5 rounds into the season and we all know that Frankfurt will not be a top contender for winning the league. For them, finishing in the top 4 would be a great success.
Bayern's top rivals this season remain Leverkusen and Dortmund (and maaaybe Leipzig as a dark horse), both of which have a relatively easy games (at least on paper) so it's important for Bayern to win to keep the 3 points advantage over those two.
Although maybe referring to Union Berlin as an easy opponent for Dortmund is not quite fair. Union is an average team and Dortmund is not famous for their consistency, so a surprise in Berlin is not impossible.
