Augsburg vs. Eintracht Frankfurt preview: Die Adler targeting European qualification

Eintracht Frankfurt

Frankfurt are sitting in eight place after collecting 42 points from their 30 league games this season. Die Adler are currently one point adrift of a Conference League spot, which could become a Europa League position if the Bundesliga earn an extra Champions League place.

However, their European qualification bid was dealt a blow in last Saturday’s 3-1 home defeat to RB Leipzig. Hugo Larsson cancelled out Yan Diomande’s opener, but goals from Antonio Nusa and Conrad Harder left Frankfurt with nothing to show for their efforts. After suffering their first home defeat since January, die Adler will head on their travels for the first time since beating Wolfsburg 2-1 on April 11. As a result of that success, they now have the chance to record back-to-back away league wins for the first time this season.

Frankfurt enjoyed success in December’s reverse fixture against Augsburg, which saw Ritsu Doan score the decisive goal in a narrow 1-0 win. That result gives Frankfurt the chance to complete a Bundesliga over the Fuggerstädter for the first time since the 2020-21 campaign.
