Augsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2022-11-04 14:30.
Perennial underdogs Augsburg slipped to a fourth consecutive Bundesliga game without victory (D2, L2) in a 2-1 defeat to Stuttgart last time out, suffering heartbreak again by conceding in second-half stoppage time. That defeat marked the fourth consecutive game in which Augsburg have surrendered a lead (D1, L3) and manager Enrico Maaßen is likely frustrated with his side’s inability to maintain winning positions, although he stated that “key moments’’ went against them in that contest.
Returning to the WWK Arena may buoy Augsburg as they look to notch a fourth straight unbeaten home league game for the first time since November 2021. Even with their recent solid home form, five points collected after six home league games is Augsburg’s worst return since 2016/17 and is higher than only rock-bottom Schalke’s paltry four-point haul, so the performance home fans will witness when Eintracht Frankfurt come to town remains quite unpredictable.
The visiting UEFA Europa League winners ensured that they will dine at Europe’s top-table into the new year with an impressive 2-1 away win at Sporting Lisbon in midweek, yet attention swiftly turns to the final three league games ahead of the World Cup break. Things aren’t going terribly on the domestic front either, with Frankfurt just six points behind the league leaders ahead of this round.
Eagles boss Oliver Glasner has an unbeaten personal record against Augsburg to protect (W2, D4) with this being the Bundesliga side he has faced most often without a single defeat. With six wins from their last eight competitive away games and only one defeat as pre-match favourites away from home this season too, Frankfurt may be quietly confident of another strong performance.
Players to watch: Augsburg’s Tomáš Koubek performed valiantly in goal despite defeat vs Stuttgart, facing 31 shots in total, yet he will likely have another busy afternoon trying to thwart Frankfurt’s Daichi Kamada, who’s scored his side’s first goal in his last three appearances.
Hot streak: Neither side have won a league game when conceding first this season, with identical records of: D1, L4.
