Eintracht had won six out of their last seven, but let slip a two goal lead last weekend to Borussia Dortmund to lose some momentum. Augsburg did manage to beat leaders Bayern on home soil, but have slipped into the bottom three and face a relegation battle, admittedly something FCA are no strangers to over the years. Augsburg have not scored against the visitors in four matches but should be fancied for a point with Eintracht still coming to terms with their late collapse against Dortmund. 1:1
Record signing Ricardo Pepi has joined from FC Dallas but may have to wait for his first start. Jeffrey Gouweleeuw is struggling with a knock, so English centre-back Reece Oxford will likely return to defence. Fellow defender Felix Uduokhai is a welcome returnee after an absence of over four months. Tomas Koubek has tested positive for COVID, while Iceland striker Alfred Finnbogason cannot shake off a muscle injury. Noah Sarenren Bazee is over a knee injury, while Tobias Strobl is ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury. Kristijan Jakic, Goncalo Paciencia and Jens Grahl are all in contention after COVID. However, Danny da Costa and Erik Durm are both likely to miss out. Aymen Barkok is at the Africa Cup of Nations with Morocco. Tuta is available after suspension, but Jens Petter Hauge and Christopher Lenz are out with muscle injuries.
