Eintracht Frankfurt are looking to breathe new life into their campaign as they host Augsburg in a Friday night Bundesliga fixture. Both teams have shown little defensive solidity in recent weeks and could be set to produce goals on Friday.
It has been a difficult few weeks for Eintracht Frankfurt, who are winless in their last four Bundesliga matches. They remain in the final European slot, three points above Augsburg and will be looking to strengthen their position in the final weeks of the season.
Eintracht Frankfurt were far from their best last time out in the Bundesliga as they were beaten 3-0 at Stuttgart. They conceded all three goals in the first half and struggled to get back into the encounter.
While things have been generally rough for Eintracht Frankfurt lately, they may have something to build on having gone unbeaten in nine of their last 10 home matches. However, they have played out too many draws lately having been held four times in their last five matches in front of their fans.
While Eintracht Frankfurt have struggled lately, Augsburg are cranking up the pressure in the race for a European finish. Sitting three points off the pace, they are unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches, claiming six wins in that run.
Augsburg travel to Deutsche Bank Park off the back of a 2-0 victory over Union Berlin in their previous Bundesliga fixture. They were largely comfortable for much of the encounter with second half efforts from Phillip Tietz and Sven Michel earning the win.
The one blemish for Augsburg in their recent good form is an erratic record on their travels. They have picked up just three wins from their last six away matches and were beaten 3-1 at Hoffenheim in their previous fixture on the road.
