Augsburg vs TSG Hoffenheim Predictions

Hoffenheim to get back on track

Hoffenheim have been on a poor run as of late but they are fancied to bounce back when they take on mid-table Augsburg on Friday.

Die Kraichgauer have exceeded expectations this term and currently sit fifth, with the gap to them and Eintracht Frankfurt in seventh all but ensuring them a European spot.

Defeats to RB Leipzig and Mainz either side of the international break are far from ideal but the hosts are hardly pulling up trees at present either.

Augsburg have taken just a single point from their last four games and conceded ten goals in the process.

Only the bottom three have lost more games than their total of 14 and they were beaten 3-0 by these opponents earlier in the season.

Only three teams have conceded more than their total of 51 in 28 games and their defensive issues could be their undoing once again.

Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are the only team to have won more games away from home than Hoffenheim this season and they look set to get back on track with another win.

Both of these teams have been leaky at the back and another high-scoring affair looks likely.

Seven of Hoffenheim’s last nine games have gone over 2.5 goals and the away side are taken to win this 2-1.
