Frankfurt had drawn five in a row before shocking the perennial champions Bayern 2-1 on their own patch, their first win at Bayern in 21 years. Frankfurt have not lost on their own patch in the Bundesliga since June 2020, a run of 22 games, but still seek a first home win under new coach Oliver Glasner. Director of Football Fredi Bobic and Kevin Prince Boateng return to Frankfurt where they won the German Cup together in 2018.
