The Bundesliga weekend kicks off on Friday evening, as two sides that are competing for a place in the top six will collide. Eintracht Frankfurt comes into this clash with Augsburg after going four without a victory.
Bundesliga Preview
Eintracht Frankfurt comes into this latest round of matches under increasing pressure in the battle to finish in a top six spot. The home side currently sits in the final European position in the Bundesliga, but they are just three points clear of their rivals this week.
Frankfurt have gone four matches without a win in the league, and they have suffered two defeats over that period. They also come into this round of matches after suffering a seventh defeat of the season in their previous outing. Frankfurt were way below the standard required in that clash with Stuttgart, as they conceded three times inside the opening 38 minutes. A return to form is desperately required to enhance their chances of finishing in a European spot this term.
Augsburg are one of a number of teams that are chasing Frankfurt in the race for a top six spot in the Bundesliga this term. They come into this match sitting seventh, but they have suffered just one defeat across their last five matches in the competition. A success on Friday could see them end the round in sixth spot in the table.
Augsburg would have been delighted with the character that was shown last week, as they ended a two-game winless sequence in the Bundesliga by landing a much-needed victory against Union Berlin. Phillip Tietz and Sven Michel scored the goals in that success at home.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Augsburg Head to Head
Augsburg landed a 2-1 success in the reverse fixture between these sides this term. That victory means that Augsburg have now avoided defeat in four of their last five against their rivals. However, three matches over that period have ended in draws. That includes a 1-1 outcome in this exact fixture last term.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Augsburg Prediction
Augsburg brings the better form into this fixture on Friday, but they haven’t won away from home against Frankfurt since 2019. Therefore, it could be worthwhile to side with the home team to enhance their chances of finishing in the European spots by landing a much-needed victory in this fixture.
