Eintracht Frankfurt vs Augsburg prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2020-21
The Bundesliga will return with a bang on Tuesday, with Eintracht Frankfurt hosting Augsburg at Deutsche Bank Park.
This fixture will pit fourth against 11th in the table. Frankfurt currently occupy the final UEFA Champions League spot and will be looking to consolidate their position with a win. Augsburg are comfortable in mid-table and have very little left to play for.
The hosts come into the game on the back of a debilitating 4-0 defeat away to Borussia Monchengladbach. Four different men got on the scoresheet to power Marco Rose's side to a convincing victory.
Augsburg played out a tame goalless draw at home to Arminia Bielefeld.
