THE TEAM NEWS

EINTRACHT FRANKFURT

• Eintracht Frankfurt beat RB Leipzig at home for the second time in 10 days in the DFB-Pokal in midweek but have tended to struggle against the lesser teams in the Bundesliga this season.
• Midfielders Gacinovic and Rode will be assessed after coming off with knocks on Tuesday, but striker Dost should return having missed the last two games through illness.
• Chandler, who has scored two goals in three starts this year, is also set to return to the starting XI after being benched in midweek.

Predicted line-up (4-2-3-1): Trapp; Toure, Abraham, Hinteregger, N'Dicka; Sow, Rode; Chandler, Kamada, Kostic; Dost

Unavailable: Russ (Injured), Lucas Torro (Injured), Fernandes (Injured)

Doubtful: Gacinovic (Injured), Rode (Injured), Dost (Illness)

AUGSBURG

• After three successive defeats, Augsburg came from behind to claim an important 2-1 win at home to Werder Bremen last Saturday.
• First-choice goalkeeper Koubek missed last weekend's match because of illness but returned to training on Tuesday and should be fit enough for this one.
• Cordova has been ruled out again, while fellow striker Finnbogason is likely to be on the bench again as he builds up his match fitness following a lay-off.

Predicted line-up (4-4-2): Koubek; Jedvaj, Gouweleeuw, Uduokhai, Max; Richter, Khedira, Baier, Vargas; Hahn, Niederlechner

Unavailable: Cordova (Injured), Asta (Injured), Iago (International duty)

THE PREDICTION

Augsburg did the double over Frankfurt last season but they have only won twice on their travels since their last visit to the Commerzbank-Arena last April. The home side have started the year strongly and will be keen to keep moving back up the table, which they should do with victory on Friday.
