Bayern Munich vs Eintracht Frankfurt preview - Schaaf won't set up for shut-out

Eintracht Frankfurt coach Thomas Schaaf says he is not planning on building the barricades when his side visit Bayern Munich on Saturday, although that is not to say they will aim to play attractive football either.

Frankfurt have not won in Munich in 15 years and Schaaf is hoping that record comes to an end to earn his side the points they need to keep the relegation zone at a safe distance.

"Our tactics will be to play well an get the best we can out of the game," he told the Frankfurter Rundschau newspaper.

"We've got to use all of our ability to make their life as difficult as possible.

"We want to show as much of our strength as we can and If we manage that, then we've always delivered a good performance, and that often culminates in a good result.

"If we play a perfect game, then of course we can get all three points. If we play badly, then we don't have to expect to come away with a point."

Schaaf will be without Carlos Zambrano, who is injured, although Bayern coach Pep Guardiola has great injury worries.

Alongside Franck Ribery and Arjen Robben, who have been ruled out recently, Medhi Benatia and Philipp Lahm both picked up injuries in the midweek cup win over Bayer Leverkusen - a game which went to extra time and penalties and is therefore likely to have cost Bayern also in terms of energy.

"We've got to try to recover as quickly as we can because we've got a game against Frankfurt on Saturday," said defender Dante on his club's website.

No thoughts will be creeping towards the Champions League tie with Porto next week, though, with Bayern's director of sport making it clear where the club's priorities lie.

"The Bundesliga is the most important of all titles," he said. "Everything else you just try to add on top."

Bayern cannot yet mathematically wrap up the title but another win on Saturday could take them to within one more victory of a third straight Bundesliga title, depending on how second-placed Wolfsburg fare at Hamburg.
