Mehdi Loune (Cruciate ligament tear), Sebastian Rode (Knee problems) and Sasa Kalajdzic (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Eintracht Frankfurt gaffer Dino Toppmöller. Tuta is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
It’s our opinion that Eintracht will probably use the 4-3-3 system for the game, handing starts to Kevin Trapp, Aurelio Buta, Robin Koch, Willian Pacho, Niels Nkounkou, Eric Ebimbe, Mario Goetze, Hugo Larsson, Ansgar Knauff, Omar Marmoush and Jean Bahoya.
Eintracht Frankfurt will be looking to improve on their last outing here after a 3-0 Bundesliga 1 loss in their previous game against Stuttgart.

It’s been all too rare in recent games that Eintracht Frankfurt have shown defensive steel. The reality is that Eintracht Frankfurt have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 9 goals on the way.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Eintracht Frankfurt: have not registered a win against Augsburg in their last 2 league matches, are unbeaten in their last 8 league matches at home. It's been impressive, are without a home win in the past 2 league games.

Robert Gumny (Cruciate ligament tear), Fredrik Jensen (Calf injury), Reece Oxford (muscular problems), Niklas Dorsch (Foot injury), Raphael Framberger (Cruciate ligament tear) and Elvis Rexhbecaj (Metatarsal fracture) miss out here.
There’s a good chance that Augsburg will likely play in a 4-1-2-1-2 lineup, going with Finn Dahmen, Kevin Mbabu, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Felix Uduokhai, M. Valentin Pedersen, Kristijan Jakic, Arne Engels, Arne Maier, Ruben Vargas, Ermedin Demirovic and Phillip Tietz.

Prediction: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-2 Augsburg
A closely-fought contest could be on the cards on Friday as well as plenty of goalmouth action at both ends of the pitch, as each of the last four meetings have seen both teams score. Although the momentum is with Augsburg, we believe Frankfurt will do enough to claim a share of the spoils and hold on to sixth spot heading into their remaining four fixtures.
