Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Eintracht Frankfurt will try to recover from a 3-0 loss to Stuttgart when they take on Augsburg in the Bundesliga round 30. Die Adler failed to win the previous four league matches, but they are still seen as slim favourites to beat Augsburg at their Deutsche Bank Park. Defender Tuta is banned for the match, while all Mario Gotze, Ellyes Skhiri, Sebastian Rode, Mehdi Loune, and Sasa Kalajdzic remain on the sidelines with injuries.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 3-1 loss to Hoffenheim, with the team beating Union Berlin 2-0 in front of home fans, but they face a tough task in Frankfurt. Taking everything into account, we predict that the two Conference-League-chasing sides are going to share the spoils in Friday’s encounter. Augsburg’s injury list is pretty long, including the likes of Kristijan Jakic, Fredrik Jensen, Kevin Mbabu, Iago, Robert Gumny, Elvis Rexhbecaj, and Raphael Framberger.
Highlighted Player (Ellyes Skhiri):
After spending his youth career at Montpellier, Ellyes Skhiri continued playing for la Paillade at senior level. In 2019 he moved to Bundesliga side Koln, signing a four-year contract with the Billy Goats. Shkiri was born in Lunel, France on May 10, 1995, but he has a dual citizenship as his parents are of Tunisia descent.
The Koln midfielder made debut with the Tunisian national team in a 1-0 win over Iran on March 23, 2018 and he represented Tunisia at the FIFA World Cup finals in Russia later that year. Ellyes Skhiri’s main position is defensive midfielder, but he is capable of producing fine performances at both right and centre back.
His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with Koln until June 30, 2026. The Tunisia international made his Bundesliga debut on August 17, 2019 in a 2-1 loss to Wolfsburg and he scored his first ever goal in the German top flight in a 2-1 win over Freiburg on August 31, 2019.
Highlighted Team (Augsburg):
Augsburg are a German football club founded in Augsburg, Bavaria back in 1907. Die Fuggerstadter play in German Bundesliga and with 12,200 members they are regarded as the largest football club in Bavaria. Augsburg wear white shirts and they host their rivals at WWK ARENA.
The capacity of the stadium is 30,660 and it has been the home of Augsburg since 2009. Augsburg won the Schwaben Cup 13 times and it has to be noted that they were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2011.
The club qualified for the Europa League 2015/2016 group stages and thanks to a 3-1 win over Partizan in Belgrade they booked their place in the last 32. However, Liverpool proved to be a big catch for the German outfit in the Europa League knockout stages.
Die Fuggerstadter’s main rivals are TSV 1860 Munich and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other.
