There is a place in the German Cup Final up for grabs on Wednesday when Bayern Munich hosts Eintracht Frankfurt with the winner set to face Saarbrucken or Bayer Leverkusen.

The Bavarian giants come into the game having won their last 11 games in all competitions and are unbeaten in 20, since Dec. 7.

They won their last outing on the weekend 4-2 against Bayer Leverkusen and are the current champions of the DFB Pokal.

Frankfurt will be hoping to making a third final in four years after winning the competition in 2018 against Bayern.

The Eagles have just two wins in eight games though, and lost 2-0 at home to Mainz on the weekend.

The two sides met recently on May 23 when Bayern won 5-1 at home and they have scored 18 goals in their last four wins against Frankfurt.

The visitors won against the Bundesliga champions last November, beating them 5-1 at home.

Hansi Flick will be without Corentin Tolisso, Mickael Cuisance, Philippe Coutinho and Niklas Sule who remain sidelined with injuries.

Frankfurt are missing Gelson Fernandes, Goncalo Paciencia and Jetro Willems.

Kickoff is at 2:45 p.m. EST on Wednesday afternoon at the Allianz Arena in Munich. The game will be shown in the United States on ESPN.
