The Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayern Munich fixture opens Bundesliga season number 60 on Friday night. The game at the Deutsche Bank Park kicks off at 20.30 CEST and the SAT.1 match preview starts 15 minutes earlier on the touchline. Rudi Völler will support presenter Matthias Opdenhövel with his expertise as a pundit.

The 62-year-old handed over the baton as sporting managing director at the Werkself to Simon Rolfes in the summer and Völler is now a member of the Bayer 04 shareholders committee.

Ran Late Night with Völler And Fischer

Following the opening match, SAT.1 will broadcast the ran Late Night show from an executive box at the Deutsche Bank Park, with Rudi Völler joining Eintracht president Peter Fischer as a guest. Topics for discussion include Völler’s exceptional career as well as the title race in the Bundesliga. Christian Düren is the presenter of the talk show.
