Pick: Frankfurt to Win
Frankfurt’s dip in form means we can get it at an appealing price at home to Augsburg, and it should have enough quality to get the job done.
Dino Toppmöller’s team took a shock lead away to Barcelona midweek before succumbing to defeat. The first half performance showed that the German side is capable of beating anyone, and it should give them confidence ahead of this clash.
The defeat away to Leipzig was Frankfurt’s first loss in seven Bundesliga outings. Toppmöller’s team has also won three of their six home league matches, netting an average of 1.83 goals per game.
Augsburg has lost eight of its 13 league games this season. Sandro Wagner’s team has also failed to win any of their last five away Bundesliga matches, losing four.
Wagner’s team also has the worst xGA (expected goals against) in the Bundesliga, with 24.84. Frankfurt has the attacking prowess to exploit this defensive frailty.

Augsburg vs. Frankfurt Prediction Analysis
Frankfurt’s crushing defeat away to Leipzig saw them drop outside the top six, but they are eight points above an Augsburg side that is dangerously close to the relegation playoff place.
Dino Toppmöller’s attack-minded approach has made Frankfurt’s matches goal-laden affairs. Their Bundesliga games have seen an average of 4.38 goals; only Bayern games have seen more. Augsburg matches are also goal-friendly, with 3.38 goals on average, so this promises to be an enthralling encounter.
Both of these sides have shown defensive frailty. Despite their league position, Frankfurt have conceded the most goals in the Bundesliga, whereas Augsburg have conceded the third-most. With teams struggling to keep things tight at the back, this game could be decided by an error in a deeper area of the pitch.
Field tilt, a metric that measures territorial dominance, along with the 1x2 odds, suggests that Frankfurt will be on top for the large majority of this game. Toppmöller’s side has a field tilt of 53.07, 7.37 more than Augsburg.
Frankfurt has often relied on its attack to bail it out this season. They are contending with injuries in that area, so this isn’t an easy game. However, Toppmöller has the greater quality in his squad, so the home side will fancy its chances.
