Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
In-form Eintracht Frankfurt will look to extend their winning run in Bundesliga to six games when they take on Augsburg on Matchday 13. Die Adler have been impressive in front of goal of late and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-oriented approach against Augsburg. The opposition back-line should have Omar Marmoush at bay as the Egypt international scored a brace in a 4-0 triumph over Heidenheim, while midfielder Aurele Amenda continues to miss out with a ligament injury.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, defeated Bochum at home at the weekend, but given their five-game winless run on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the home team. In their last encounter at Deutsche Bank Park Frankfurt defeated Augsburg and we predict that history is going to repeat itself. The likes of Robert Gumny, Mads Pedersen, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Fredrik Jensen, and Reece Oxford remain on the sidelines with injuries for the Bavarian outfit.
Highlighted Player (Mario Gotze):
Mario Gotze is a German midfielder, who played for Ronsberg and Eintrach Hombruch during his youth career before joining Borussia Dortmund in 2001. He made a great progress during his spell at the Borussia Dortmund’s youth academy and on 21 November, 2009 he made his Bundesliga debut for the Millionaires.
Gotze scored 22 goals in 83 league appearances for the club between 2009 and 2013 and he joined Borussia Dortmund’s bitterest rivals Bayern Munich on April, 2013. The German midfielder, who is capable of playing as a striker as well, failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Bundesliga campaign, but it has to be noted that he was struggling with injury at the start of the season.
Gotze won three Bundesliga trophies with Bayern Munich, but at the end of the 2015/2016 season he returned to Borussia Dortmund. In 2014 he represented Germany at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil and he scored the winner in the final against Argentina. Mario Gotze was born in Memmingen on 3 June, 1992.
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.
