Eintracht Frankfurt v Augsburg

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Augsburg Preview

Eintracht Frankfurt were handed a heavy 3-0 defeat away from home at Stuttgart in last weekend's Bundesliga action but although the hosts have now failed to win any of their last four games overall in the German top flight they still occupy sixth place in the table, while Augsburg remain in seventh place and three points behind their hosts despite picking up a solid 2-0 home win against Union Berlin.

Eintracht Frankfurt had previously stumbled to a 3-1 loss away from home at Borussia Dortmund and although Dino Toppmoller's side have also picked up points in draws with Union Berlin and Werder Bremen, these have not been enough to lift the hosts further away from the chasing teams such as Friday night's opponents, Augsburg.

The bigger picture shows Eintracht Frankfurt have collected just two wins from their last 10 matches overall in the German top flight which were gained by way of victories over Heidenheim and Hoffenheim but five draws and three defeats within this period suggests that the straight win markets should be avoided in this one.

However, the goals market looks promising as seven of Eintracht Frankfurt's last 10 games overall in the Bundesliga have resulted in both teams scoring.

Augsburg managed to keep in touch with their upcoming hosts last weekend when they registered a 2-0 home win against Union Berlin which incidentally became a fifth win in seven games overall in the Bundesliga for the visitors, so they too will feel they stand a chance of gaining some sort of result here at the Deutsche Bank Park on Friday night.

The visitors have been dealt just the single defeat in these last seven games which came in the form of a 3-1 loss away from home at Hoffenheim but Jess Thorup's side have produced some impressive performances of late in the Bundesliga which saw the visitors gain four wins on the trot in previous weeks.

Augsburg racked up some important wins against the likes of Freiburg, Darmstadt, Heidenheim and Wolfsburg respectively thus underlining their ability to make life difficult for Eintracht Frankfurt in Friday night's encounter.

However, Augsburg have not things all their own way in the Bundesliga as the bigger picture shows Thorup's side have managed to register just six wins from their previous 16 games overall whilst also slipping to six defeats in the process as well.

Both teams have scored in six of Augsburg's last 10 games overall though and therefore the goals market appears to be the best option for this fixture.

Eintracht Frankfurt v Augsburg Verdict

This looks like being an entertaining clash as each of the last four meetings have resulted in both teams scoring and both sides need all three points here to boost their hopes of a top six finish.
