Augsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-04-19 13:30.
[p]Augsburg’s rise as one of the Bundesliga’s hardest teams to beat lately has been remarkable, as their 3-1 win away to Bochum last time out stretched their brilliant run to one defeat in 13 Bundesliga matches (W7, D5). Coming into the round just three points shy of the top six, Jess Thorup’s men retain an outside chance of European qualification thanks to their joint-best points haul at this stage of a Bundesliga campaign![/p]
[p]The Fuggerstädter’s lone defeat in that run came in their last home game against league leaders Bayern Munich, which ended a run of four outings at the WWK Arena without defeat that included three clean sheets (W2, D2). Returning to winning ways against Eintracht Frankfurt looks a tall order as Augsburg have won just one of the last ten H2Hs (D4, L5).[/p]
[p]Yet it remains to be seen what sort of headspace Eintracht will be in, having been dumped out of the UEFA Europa League in midweek after a 1-0 loss to Tottenham. Their season will now be defined solely by their Bundesliga placing where they’ll begin the weekend in third place, a position they last held this late into a Bundesliga campaign in 1993/94 when current manager Dino Toppmöller’s father Klaus was in charge.[/p]
[p]The Eagles went on to finish fifth that season, meaning a top-three Bundesliga finish was last achieved way back in 1992/93. Frankfurt’s away form will play a big part in whether they accomplish that feat this campaign as three of their last five games are on the road, something that might see them come unstuck since they’ve won just two of their last eight away games in all competitions (D3, L3).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Samuel Essende scored Augsburg’s second goal in the reverse fixture (D 2-2), but his three goalscoring appearances since have seen him net the match opener. Can Uzun scored the equaliser when these teams met last, which was one of his last seven goals to all arrive after half-time.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: The last six H2Hs have seen both teams score.[/p]
