Augsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2021-22

Domestic football in Germany continues this weekend and will see Augsburg host Eintracht Frankfurt at the WWK Arena on Sunday afternoon.

Augsburg were beaten 3-1 by Hoffenheim last time out, marking a third winless game for the hosts. Michael Gregoritsch gave his side the lead just five minutes after kickoff but soon saw his effort go down the drain as the points went Hoffenheim’s way.

Augsburg sit 16th in the league with just 18 points from 18 games. They will be looking to get back to winning ways when they play at the weekend.

Eintracht Frankfurt lost their last game dramatically as they squandered a two-goal lead against Borussia Dortmund in the final twenty minutes of the game. Rafael Santos Borre picked up a first-half brace, capitalizing on the Black and Yellows’ defensive frailties before his side capitulated in the final minutes of the game.

The visitors sit eighth in the league with 27 points from 18 games. They will be looking to bounce back from their latest result when they travel to Augsburg on Saturday.
