Eintracht Frankfurt preview: Entertaining Frankfurt
Dino Toppmoller produced some remarkably high-scoring thrillers in charge of Eintracht Frankfurt last season before Albert Riera replaced him and continued that, albeit with inconsistent results leading to his own departure over the summer.
Now with former Monaco boss Adi Hutter in charge, Frankfurt were again brilliant to watch in their opener as they shared a thrilling 3-3 draw with Union Berlin in the capital city after being 3-1 up with about ten minutes to go.
Augsburg preview: Strong start
Augsburg began the 2026-27 Bundesliga season with an impressive 3-0 defeat of newly-promoted giants Schalke with goals scored by Michael Gregoritsch, Anton Kade and Rodrigo Ribeiro – the latter two coming after Schalke had gone down to ten men.
Augsburg finished firmly in the middle-of-the-table last season under the management of Manuel Baum – who has been in charge since last summer after a three-year stint at the club between 2016 and 2020 ahead of taking charge of Germany’s U18 and U20 sides.

Eintracht Frankfurt vs Augsburg prediction
Adi Hutter brought a new and intense, energetic and entertaining style to Monaco in Ligue 1 in recent years and the former Borussia Monchengladbach boss is maintaining that at a Frankfurt side that won 11-0 in the first round of the DFB-Pokal a couple of weeks ago. Augsburg should be confident of punishing them on the counter-attack but, with home advantage, Frankfurt do remain favourites for this one on Sunday.
