Augsburg Form & Balance Check
What was predicted before the season is becoming more and more of a reality. FC Augsburg will probably have to tremble for their relegation this season until the very end. The team of coach Markus Weinzierl has slipped to 16th place due to the defeat against Hoffenheim and Stuttgart’s point win in Fürth. Against Hoffenheim, FCA played a solid game, but in the end lacked the necessary offensive punch. In the 90 minutes, Augsburg only had three shots on goal and that is exactly where FCA’s problem lies. Up to the sixteen, the Bavarian Swabians’ play is quite respectable, but after that it is far too harmless.
Too high expectations for Pepi?
For many fans and experts, the news that Pepi was moving to FC Augsburg came as a bit of a surprise. On the one hand, that such a talent decided against offers from much bigger clubs and is now involved in the relegation battle of the Bundesliga, and on the other hand that Augsburg put a whopping 17 million euros on the table. Pepi is now expected to boost FCA’s offensive play. The 19-year-old American comes to Germany with the recommendation of 13 goals in the past MLS season.
Augsburg facts & analysis
– Lost 3-1 to Hoffenheim on last matchday
– Hopes lie in new signing Pepi
– Only 18 goals scored
Frankfurt form & balance check
Eintracht Frankfurt came so close to starting the new football year with a win. Against BVB, the Hessians had to deal mainly with their own defence at the beginning, but especially goalkeeper Kevin Trapp kept the zero with good saves. Afterwards, Eintracht got better and better into the game and scored twice before half-time in the person of Borre. N’Dicka even had the chance to make it 3:0. Frankfurt had everything under control and coach Glasner’s team went into the break with a commanding lead.
Frankfurt doesn’t close the bag
At the very start of the 2nd half, Lindström also had a great chance to extend the lead. The Swede missed his opportunity and Dortmund regained hope. The fact that it wasn’t even enough for a point in the end was the Eagles’ own fault. Against FCA, Eintracht Frankfurt will not change much in their game idea, only the defensive stability in case of a goal against should be revised. Things have always looked very good against FCA in recent years. The Frankfurt side have picked up ten points from their last four games. Coach Glasner has never lost against Augsburg in his career.
