Eintracht Frankfurt vs FC Augsburg prediction, preview, team news and more

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.
