On Sunday afternoon, Augsburg host Eintracht Frankfurt at the WWK Arena, in a game that could play a pivotal role in the fight for survival and European spots in the Bundesliga.
Augsburg are in 16th place in the Bundesliga table, occupying the relegation play-off spot. However, they are only behind 15th place Stuttgart courtesy of an inferior goal difference of two.
On the flip-side, the home team are also just a point above 17th place Arminia Bielefeld, who are in the automatic relegation zone.
Markus Weinzierl’s team have not been in great form of late, as they have won just one of their previous six matches in the Bundesliga.
However, a 3-1 defeat at Hoffenheim last time out ended a three-game unbeaten league run.
Augsburg have an inconsistent recent home record, but they have been difficult to beat in the Bundesliga on home soil, losing just once in six league outings at the WWK Arena.
Eintracht Frankfurt recent resurgence under Oliver Glasner took a blow last time out, as the Eagles suffered a 3-2 home defeat against Dortmund. The loss ended a three-game winning run for Eintracht in the Bundesliga.
Despite the defeat against BVB, Frankfurt are still well placed to mount a challenge for the European spots. In fact, the visitors are just three points adrift of fourth and the Champions League spots in the German top-flight.
Colombian striker Rafael Borre now seems to found his scoring boots in the Bundesliga, as the former River plate striker has scored three goals in as many league appearances for Frankfurt. The 26-year-old has scored six times this season in his debut season in the German top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Eintracht Frankfurt will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to boost their chances of European football next season and dent Augsburg survival hopes.
