Overview

• Bayern can set a European top‑league mark with a 10th straight competitive win, but Vincent Kompany labeled Eintracht Frankfurt “dangerous” and highlighted Can Uzun’s threat.
• Kompany said Min‑Jae Kim will probably be available, with goalkeeper Jonas Urbig still out and further returns expected after the international break.
• Dietmar Hamann warned Bayern’s players are covering unnecessary distance, citing 121 km run in the 5–1 win at Pafos versus the hosts’ 113 km, which he says could cost them later in the season.
• Borussia Dortmund’s run of one loss in 20 matches continues, yet Niko Kovač signaled rotation for RB Leipzig after only three days’ rest and commentators urged restraint on early praise.
• VfB Stuttgart fell 0–2 at Basel as Ermedin Demirović’s VAR‑delayed penalty was saved by Marwin Hitz, extending a run of seven misses in the club’s last 11 in‑game spot kicks despite heavy dominance and 31 shots.
