Reece Oxford (muscular problems), Niklas Dorsch (Foot injury), Raphael Framberger (Cruciate ligament tear), Robert Gumny (Cruciate ligament tear), Fredrik Jensen (Calf injury) and Elvis Rexhbecaj (Metatarsal fracture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

🧠 Prediction

Our assessment is that Augsburg are dangerous enough to breach the defence of this Eintracht Frankfurt lineup, although that realistically won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We think that it’s going to be both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Eintracht Frankfurt after 90 minutes. Definitely a tough call.
