Eintracht Frankfurt vs Augsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-04-18 18:30.
[p]Eintracht Frankfurt are on a four-game winless league run for the second time in 2024 after a 3-0 defeat at Stuttgart, meaning failure to claim victory at home to Augsburg would equal their longest winless Bundesliga sequence this season (D4, L1 in August and September). The sixth-placed hosts’ European hopes are in jeopardy as a result, and a loss by more than one goal on Friday would see them being leapfrogged by their opponents.[/p]
[p]That seems an unlikely outcome though, as the last time that Frankfurt suffered a multiple-goal home league defeat was in August 2022 against Bayern Munich (6-1), while they have lost just once at Deutsche Bank Park in the German top-flight this term (W6, D7). But despite being unbeaten in eight Bundesliga outings on their own turf (W4, D4), the Eagles have collected only two of their six home league wins in 2023/24 against current top-half teams and drawn four of their last five home games – all against bottom-half clubs.[/p]
[p]Augsburg made it six victories from 13 matches in 2024 (D3, L4) after beating Union Berlin 2-0 to earn their third clean sheet in six encounters (W4, D1, L1) after none in their first 23 league games this season. They still need two more shutouts to equal their lowest number of Bundesliga clean sheets in a single campaign (five) since gaining promotion in 2011. [/p]
[p]Despite winning two of their last three away matches (W2, L1), Die Fuggerstädter have a terrible record on the road against current top-half sides, having lost all five such games this term with a combined aggregate of 14-2. It’s not all bad omens ahead of their visit here though, as Augsburg have avoided defeat in their last two away H2Hs despite only scoring once across their last four visits here (D2, L2).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Mario Götze netted in Frankfurt’s last home win, with his side triumphing in three of the four league games this season in which he has been involved in goals (L1). In the reverse fixture, Ermedin Demirović assisted both goals for Augsburg in their 2-1 victory, but his team have won only three of seven away league matches in which he has scored or assisted in 2023/24 (D2, L2).[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Augsburg are unbeaten in eight Bundesliga games played on a Friday (W7, D1). [/p]
