Eintracht Frankfurt’s form has dipped in the second half of the Bundesliga season, and they are now facing an uphill struggle to secure a European finish. Augsburg will be the visitors this weekend, as they look to end their long wait for a win.
Bundesliga Preview
It has been a testing second half to the season for Eintracht Frankfurt, as they have dropped out of the European places at an alarming rate. They now sit ninth in the standings, and they have suffered three defeats in their previous five matches. Frankfurt desperately need a return to winning ways this weekend, as that would see them close the gap on the top six to two points. But, a defeat could see them slip to eight points off the pace.
Frankfurt suffered a second defeat in three Bundesliga matches in their previous outing, as they were hammered on the road by Borussia Dortmund. Dortmund scored three inside the opening 45 minutes, and the visitors failed to lay a glove on their title challenging rivals. Frankfurt managed just two shots on target on a forgettable day at the office.
Augsburg sit toward the opposite end of the standings, as they are currently located in 13th overall. They come into this fixture without a win in their previous five, but they have picked up three draws over that period. Despite that, they sit five clear of the relegation places with five games of the season left to play.
A sixth draw of the season was picked up in their previous match, as they managed to hold on to a 1-1 draw against Stuttgart. Dion Beljo opened the scoring for Augsburg in that game, but Stuttgart struck back with just 12 minutes of the 90 remaining.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Augsburg Head to Head
Frankfurt has an excellent record in this fixture, as they are unbeaten in their last six matches against Augsburg. Over that period, they have secured four victories, which includes a 2-1 success in the reverse fixture this season. However, this exact fixture last season ended in a 0-0 draw.
Eintracht Frankfurt vs Augsburg Prediction
Both of these sides come into this fixture in poor recent form. However, Frankfurt certainly has the better quality at both ends of the field, and it would be a poor result if they aren’t able to pick up maximum points this weekend.
