Eintracht Frankfurt vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting Tips (13 December)

Although it displays fairly obvious qualities, Eintracht Frankfurt is clearly not at the level of the best teams in Germany, due in particular to a defensive fragility which was once again evident last week on the field of Leipzig 6-0. Moreover, with 29 goals conceded in 13 days, the Eagles have the worst record in the Bundesliga in this register despite their 7th place in the general ranking. However, before this correction, they remained on 2 good successes obtained against Mainz 1-0 and Cologne 3-4 and on a draw obtained against Wolfsburg 1-1. On deck in the Champions League this week, Eintracht went to FC Barcelona for the 6th day of the league phase where it will be complicated to qualify for the play-offs. For its part, Augsburg obviously does not have the same ambitions for the top of the table and hopes of European qualification as its opponent of the day.

On the contrary, this team risks having to fight for a good while longer to validate its continuation for next season. That said, Sandro Wagner's men have given themselves a little breathing room by winning 2 of their last 3 league matches, each time at home, against Hamburg 1-0 and especially Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 last weekend. In the meantime, the Bavarians were still beaten quite severely on the Hoffenheim field 3-0. In the ranking, Augsburg occupies 14th place, 2 lengths ahead of the red zone. 

Opposite, Eintracht could finally find its very good playmaker Uzun (5 goals and 4 assists in the Bundesliga, 1 goal in C1) who missed the last few weeks of competition and who was unable to come into play last week against Leipzig. The formidable scorer Burkardt (8 goals in the Bundesliga, 3 goals and 1 assist in C1) is still on the flank, joined in the infirmary by his replacement Batshuayi who was injured in the first half last week. Conversely, the wingers Knauff (2 goals in Bundes, 1 goal and 1 assist in C1) and Doan (3 goals and 4 assists in Bundes, 1 assist in C1) will undoubtedly be operational just like the ex Angevin Bahoya. In Augsburg, captain Gouweleeuw will once again have to stay in the pits this weekend. Replacement midfielder Gharbi has joined his selection and is therefore absent.

Otherwise, coach Sandro Wagner can count on all his executives for this part. We think of the Swiss Rieder (3 goals, 2 assists, ex Rennes) and the French like the winger Claude Maurice (ex Lorient, Nice and Lens), midfielder Massengo and defender Matsima (1 goal, 1 pass). Pay attention to the left piston Giannoulis (2 goals, 2 assists) and the striker Kade (2 goals). The probable line-ups for Eintracht Frankfurt - Augsburg:
