Augsburg coach Manuel Baum has a lot of respect for his opponents going into this game, and recently stated: “Frankfurt are a very good away-team, that can vary between many systems. But we play in front of our fans and of course, we want to win.”

Frankfurt are the second best away team in the BL with 21 points from ten games (W6, D3, L1), only Bayern Munchen have collected more points on the road (22). But Eintracht coach Niko Kovac has some troubles too, as Jonathan de Guzman, Danny Blum and last season’s top goalscorer Alexander Meier are all still out injured - in addition, Ante Rebic (who has four goals this season) is suspended due to his fifth yellow card.

Augsburg’s number of headed goals have been the fulcrum of their season. They have scored nine of their 29 goals via headers - which is more than ever before.
Players to watch: Eintracht Frankfurt’s topscorer Sebastien Haller (eight goals, three assists) started 2018 exactly where he ended last year. He has scored four goals in his last five competitive games and will be a constant danger upfront to the hosts.

Defensive man Caiuby has already hit the back of the net five times this season, more than ever before in his career and he scored an equaliser against Cologne last weekend.
Stat attack: Augsburg haven’t lost in their last five home games in the BL (W2, D3, L0). On the other hand, Frankfurt have not lost a match in their last eight away games in all competitions (W6, D2, L0).

The reverse fixture was won by Augsburg 2-1 and they are yet to lose at home against Frankfurt in the BL. They have however, drawn their last three games (W2, D3, L0) at home. In all 11 games in the BL, Frankfurt have never won at the WWK Arena and were able to win only two (W2, D5, L4) - both at their own ground.
