Eintracht Frankfurt will be aiming to avoid a fifth successive defeat in all competitions when they host Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The visitors, meanwhile, did not play last weekend as their scheduled match against Union Berlin was postponed due to adverse weather conditions in Bavaria.
Goals from Frederik Jensen and Iago either side of half time handed Augsburg a two-goal cushion within the hour mark, but Finn Dahmen's late own goal gave Frankfurt hope of snatching a point. However, despite dominating possession with 66% of the ball and posting 14 shots in total, Die Adler could not break their opponents down.
Head coach Dino Toppmoller will not have been too concerned by losing 2-1 at home to PAOK considering that his side have already progressed to the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League. But their 2-0 defeat away to third division outfit Saarbrucken in the DFB-Pokal in midweek was nothing short of disastrous.
As has often proved the case since Toppmoller took charge, Frankfurt lacked offensive threat throughout the encounter, generating just two shots on target in total. Goals from Kai Brunker and Luca Kerber handed the hosts a famous victory and a place in the quarter-finals of Germany's domestic cup in the process, with Noel Futkeu seeing red late on.
