Augsburg vs TSG Hoffenheim Predictions

• Hoffenheim have been beaten three successive Bundesliga games, with four or more goals in each.
• Hoffenheim have conceded at least twice in all of their games since the restart.
• Augsburg have enjoyed a 100% home win-rate since the Bundesliga restart.

A true relegation six pointer

This season hasn’t been an easy one for Augsburg, who sail dangerously close to the drop zone despite having won both of their Bundesliga home games since the World Cup ended. That’s largely thanks to a rotten run of three straight away defeats during the same period.

Despite their recent resurgence at home, Augsburg still hold one of the worst Bundesliga home records across the campaign. In fact the two wins here since the restart have served to treble their tally of league wins here this season!

Combine that with the fact that they’ve lost the last three meetings with Hoffenheim in a row, and this could be a tricky encounter indeed.

Hoffenheim are in dire straits

Somewhat boosting Augsburg’s confidence will be the absolutely dire form shown by Hoffenheim in 2023, they’ve conceded at least twice and failed to win in every single game so far (D1, L5). They have at least scored in every game themselves, but their topsy-turvy approach to games isn’t proving fruitful of late.

With just two points separating the sides and similarly brutal form between the pair, picking a winner seems like a big ask in this fixture. As such, we’re going for a reasonably safe looking BTTS selection to go with Hoffenheim’s recent run of manic scorelines.

To complete our selections, we’re going for a 3-1 away win in what could finally be Hoffenheim’s day to shine as coach Pellegrino Matarazzo aims for his first victory in charge of the relegation strugglers.
