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.

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.

We're heading to Germany for the season opener, and Kev thinks Eintracht Frankfurt's clash with champions Bayern will be a cracker.
With Mane, Leroy Sane, Serge Gnabry, Jamal Musiala, Kingsley Coman, Thomas Müller and Tel all fighting for places in the front three or front four, coach Julian Nagelsmann has a surfeit of options at his disposal. It's a season opener, so we have little to go on, but I think Over 3.5 Goals is attractively priced at 2.01/1. Linfield battled hard last night, and applied plenty of pressure against Swiss champions Zurich, but their 2-0 home defeat fell just short of what we needed.

But Mane did much better in the 29th, heading home a Serge Gnabry cross to make it 3-0. "The first half was outstanding I must say," Bayern coach Julian Nagelsmann said. He then sent Muller through to set up Jamal Musiala for their fourth in the 35th with a simple tap-in and the Eintracht defence in tatters.
Jamal Musiala was the star of the show as defending champions Bayern Munich produced a footballing masterclass away at Eintracht Frankfurt.
With Bayern 5-0 up, he could take it easy and bring himself to speed in the Bundesliga. His passing looked to be on point in what was an uninspiring but solid debut. 10 – Sadio Mane is the first player in 10 years to score in each of his first two appearances for FC Bayern München in all competitions. Mane also got off to a scoring debut in his first Bundesliga match and will have a huge role to play for Bayern this season. Musiala showed glimpses of what was in store against RB Leipzig in the Super Cup and that does not appear to have been a one off. The Austrian international was the perfect foil to Kimmich and was solid on the night. He grabbed himself two assists and also had an early contender for the miss of the season. Thankfully for Bayern Munich, he regained his composure and went from strength to strength as the game wore on. The star of the show was Jamal Musiala who put in a performance that was as close to perfect as possible. Upamecano was largely untroubled and had little to deal with, making his life easy at the back. The 19-year-old ran the show and was heavily involved in the linkup play. He showed off his distribution and was involved in kick starting attacks from the back. German international Serge Gnabry also got in on the proceedings, getting his name on the scoresheet before half-time.
