There are just four games remaining in the Bundesliga this season, and both Augsburg and Eintracht Frankfurt will be looking to make one last push for European places when they go head-to-head at the WWK Arena this Saturday afternoon.
Die Fuggerstadter ended their five-match winless run last weekend with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen – a result which keeps them in the hunt for a European spot.
Die Adler, on the other hand, are still searching for consistency, having failed to win successive matches since November.

Augsburg can mathematically secure their Bundesliga status with a victory this weekend, but realistically speaking, the club is aiming a lot higher.
Currently placed ninth in the standings, Die Fuggerstadter trail seventh-placed Freiburg by seven points - a gap they could still overcome in these final four matchdays.
We still do not know how many spots in the Bundesliga will be eligible for Europe, meaning Augsburg have an added incentive to try and finish as high as possible.
Manuel Baum’s men have certainly boosted their hopes after picking up a 2-1 victory over Bayer Leverkusen last weekend - a win which saw Fabian Rieder secure all three points with a 97th minute penalty.
Augsburg will now be looking to secure back-to-back wins for the first time since February, and they will be buoyed by their impressive run of results at the WWK Arena.
Die Fuggerstadter have lost just one of their last 10 matches at home, picking up five big victories along the way.
Another big positive for Baum is the fact he has a fully fit squad at his disposal, with Chrislain Matsima and Yannik Keitel slowly returning to full fitness.
Eintracht Frankfurt do not have the same luxury when it comes to injuries, with the Eagles missing several players ahead of the weekend.
Nnamdi Collins, Rasmus Kristensen and Jean-Matteo Bahoya are all on the sidelines, while goalkeepers Kaua Santos and Jens Grahl are also in the physio room.
Injuries are not the biggest issue facing head coach Albert Riera, with the Spaniard seemingly more concerned about his team’s inconsistent run of results.
The Eagles have not won successive games since November, back when former manager Dino Toppmoller was still running the show.
Balancing Champions League football with domestic duties has not helped Frankfurt, with the club failing to reach their potential in both competitions.
Nevertheless, Riera and his men will be looking to use their final four games of the season to improve on their eighth spot in the standings - something that will not be easy considering the top six is a mighty 10 points away.
