Bundesliga action on Sunday as Augsburg and Frankfurt meet at the WWK Arena – 3:30pm GMT.

This clash sees fifteenth placed Augsburg, welcome eighth placed Frankfurt to the WWK Arena.

Augsburg have so far accrued 18 points in this season of the Bundesliga

The warning signs are there for Markus Weinzierl going into this game, following a loss to Hoffenheim in their last game and a draw against Greuther Fürth before that. Only a positive result will be good enough.

Also, Augsburg have been unable to find the winning strategy now for 14 of their last 18 meetings, a habit that must be broken if Fuggerstädter want to end with a positive season. They currently stand fifteenth in the League, with 18 points for a total of 4 wins, 8 losses and 6 draws having won four matches, drawn six fixtures, and lost eight games.

When Augsburg host Frankfurt, they will do so on the back of three wins, two darts, and three defeats on their own ground.

Victory for Augsburg would take their points tally to 21 so far this season.

Markus Weinzierl could be missing up to three of their players through injury or illness for the game on Sunday.

With the Bundesliga season well into its stride, Eintracht Frankfurt have managed to gain 27 points

Frankfurt will have doubtless licked their wounds, following their recent defeat to Borussia Dortmund at the Commerzbank Arena. Oliver Glasner’s men will hope that is enough to deliver a positive result in this match.

Also, Frankfurt keep finding ways to win, having secured six victories in their last eight matches is astonishing this season. Now they have 7 matches won, 5 games lost and 6 duels drawn; that’s why they currently sit in eighth place, with a total of 27 points having won seven fixtures, drawn six meetings, and lost five fixtures.

Frankfurt’s away record is remarkable and poses a significant threat to Augsburg. In the 9 games they’ve played on the road this season, they have so far won four meetings, drawn two games, and lost three matches.

A win in this fixture would take Eintracht Frankfurt’s points to 30 in the League.

Good Attacking Performance

Frankfurt have a good scoring record this season, with 29 netted so far (28 from open play and one penalty). Their stand out attacking players have been Rafael Borre (6), Jesper Lindstrom (4), and Filip Kostic (3). Frankfurt have shown a poor defensive display so far, having conceded 27 goals in their previous fixtures.

Frankfurt’s squad will likely be depleted of four of their key players when they start on Sunday, due to injury or illness.
