Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
WWK Arena will host Sunday’s Bundesliga game between Augsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt. The Bavarians aim to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim, with the team eyeing their first league win since December 10, 2021. Augsburg will be without Mads Pedersen, Tomas Koubek, Alfred Finnbogason, and Tobias Strobl in Sunday’s clash, while defender Reece Oxford is back from suspension. Die Adler, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund.
Eintracht Frankfurt are more of a team than Augsburg, and seeing that the Bavarians experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the loss to Hoffenheim, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Filip Kostic and Co. Both Djibril Sow and Danny da Costa have been tested positive for coronavirus, while all Aymen Barkok, Christopher Lenz, and Jens Petter Hauge are out of contention with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Alfred Finnbogason):
Born in Grindavik in 1989, Alfred Finnbogason is one of the most prolific strikers in the history of Icelandic football, as the well-travelled forward has been scoring goals for fun throughout his career. His talent was first spotted at Breidablik, where two very successful campaign helped him move to Lokeren, where he did not spent a lot of time and soon signed for Helsingborgs.
The return of 12 goals in 17 league outings for the Swedish giants soon secured him a move to Heerenveen, where he would go on to play the best football of his career, scoring remarkable 53 goals in 65 Eredivisie matches. Finnbogason somewhat struggled during spells with Real Sociedad and Olympiakos, but managed to kick-start his career at Augsburg, just in time to help Iceland on their first ever European championship appearance.
The prolific striker has been a member of the country’s national team since 2010, making over 30 appearances and scoring quite a few goals despite the fact that he was not always considered a first team regular.
