Eintracht Frankfurt vs FC Augsburg prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2021-22
Eintracht Frankfurt will host FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Saturday, and both sides will hope to bounce back after opening day defeats.
While Augsburg were beaten 4-0 by Hoffenheim at home, Frankfurt lost 5-2 against Borussia Dortmund at Westfalenstadion.
Oliver Glasner’s side were impressive against Dortmund in patches, but in the end, they lacked the quality to match Marco Rose’s team.
Frankfurt will have home advantage against Hoffenheim and will look to put the thrashing at the hands of Dortmund behind them.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs FC Augsburg Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt have started the season poorly, losing to bottom tier opposition in the DFB Pokal and then their opening Bundesliga game.
This will be the first time they will play in front of home fans, and that will be a big boost for new manager Oliver Glasner as he tries to imbibe his philosophy.
We expect Frankfurt to pick up a home win come Saturday.
Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0 Augsburg
