Augsburg want to continue their good second half of the season

Hoffenheim want to prove themselves against Augsburg, but know very well that their opponents from the Fuggerstadt have a lot of quality. It won’t be an easy game for the Kraichgauers, who will have to have a very good day. Especially as the home side’s home record is not outstanding anyway

The bookmakers’ Hoffenheim vs Augsburg prediction shows the hosts as favorites. However, this is not very clear, which is why a lot remains open here and will also depend on the form of the day. Neither side has had an ideal result recently

In any case, this match could be interesting and, above all, full of goals. Both teams like to play forward, but both concede too much defensively, far too much in fact. An interesting tip with noteworthy odds is therefore a bet on more than 3.5 goals, which bookmaker Betway, for example, is offering very attractively

Hoffenheim – Statistics & current form

For TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, the season is going very interestingly, if you want to put it that way. They were recently praised for a committed performance away to Leverkusen, but Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team ultimately lost their away game by the narrow margin of 1:2. That means they are currently ninth in the league, so nobody really knows where they are heading at the moment. Dreary mediocrity or Europe after all?

If the Kraichgauers have their way, they will certainly be heading for Europe. The chances are not too bad, eighth place could be enough and that is three points away, as is seventh place, which is currently occupied by Augsburg. In particular, the attacking line consisting of Beier, Kramaric and Weghorst, which has already scored 26 goals between them, has shown itself to be mature enough for Europe over the course of the season.

However, there have also been phases of inconsistency. Most recently, there have been three defeats in a row, but admittedly also against good opponents. Even worse: they have only won two of their last ten games! Hoffenheim were simply better in the first half of the season than after the winter break. They’re still living off that a little

Hoffenheim are picking up too few points at home

One factor that needs to be taken into account at TSG Hoffenheim this season is their home record. The Kraichgauers have only picked up exactly one point per game on average when they have played at home. That doesn’t match their own standards at all. Nevertheless, ahead of Hoffenheim’s match against Augsburg, the odds indicate a slight favorite role for the hosts

But back to the game: TSG want to be aggressive and brash, and the 97 goals scored by the Kraichgauers so far speak for themselves. However, this also means that the defense was and is not always solid. A slightly better balance than in recent games would therefore be advisable in order to achieve the goals.

Predicted Hoffenheim line-up:

Augsburg – Statistics & current form

FC Augsburg are playing a very decent season, especially after the change of coach to Jess Thorup. The team has become more stable under him and has definitely developed in terms of soccer. Nobody can deny that. The question now is: where will the journey take us? Because, as with TSG Hoffenheim, Europe is possible! And that should be exploited.

In the second half of the season, FCA is one of the best teams in terms of points and is even doing better than FC Bayern. That alone is worth reporting. In addition, the Fuggerstädter have recently won twice in a row away from home, which is also a good result. The best season in nine years should of course now be crowned.

For this to succeed, a little more consistency is needed in the performances. Not in terms of the last few weeks, because apart from the Cologne game they have been absolutely outstanding, but overall. And defensively. Augsburg still have a bit of catching up to do here

Augsburg rarely play without conceding a goal

Games without conceding a goal are a rarity. A total of 43 goals were conceded, which is not a completely catastrophic figure after 27 games, but not a good one either. 44 goals, on the other hand, are within reason. Thanks to their improved form away from home, Augsburg now have just one fewer away win than wins at home.

This is one of the reasons why we are predicting that the visitors will not lose this match between Hoffenheim and Augsburg. Augsburg have a good chance of at least securing a draw and thus keeping their opponents at bay. Bookmaker Happybet, which we have also examined and tested very closely, has set odds of 1.73 for this! With a good form on the day and the necessary self-confidence, Augsburg should have a good chance.

Predicted line-up of Augsburg:

Hoffenheim – Augsburg head-to-head comparison / H2H result

Hoffenheim – Augsburg betting tip

Hoffenheim will try to take a step forward against Augsburg. The record against this opponent reads well, but not in the home games this season, where there is an urgent need to catch up. To make matters worse, Augsburg have also scored well for TSG recently

This mixed situation means that, ahead of the match between Hoffenheim and Augsburg, our recommendation for a betting tip is that the Fuggerstädter will not lose this match. And as already mentioned: With two vulnerable defenses, it could well be a high-scoring game
