The Bundesliga's top four sides are colliding this weekend, providing a significant measure of their title aspirations against favorites Bayern Munich. Leaders Bayern, spearheaded by the record-breaking Harry Kane, travel to Eintracht Frankfurt, while Borussia Dortmund hosts RB Leipzig in the second vs. third matchup. Kane is in sensational form, scoring 17 goals in nine matches across all competitions for the undefeated Bavarians. Eintracht Frankfurt is viewed as the underdog against Bayern, especially after a recent 5-1 loss, though they have a surprisingly strong recent home record against the champions, despite defensive woes. Meanwhile, Dortmund is riding a 14-game unbeaten streak, attributing their success to tactical discipline under coach Niko Kovac. A key player to watch is Frankfurt's young creator Can Uzun, whose strong performances have even drawn regretful comments from the German FA regarding his choice to represent Turkey internationally.
