Hannover 96 vs FC Augsburg Betting Tips and Predictions

Hannover 96’s loss at Borussia Dortmund last Saturday means Hannover are without a point in the Bundesliga since the start of the year.

Augsburg lost to Bavarian rivals Bayern Munich 3-1 last Sunday and are also doing poorly after the winter break, only managing to pick up 2 points, their lowest ever return after the start of the second half of a Bundesliga season. They did however managed to hold Liverpool to 0-0 in the Europa League on Thursday.

REASON FOR BETTING TIPS

With 15 losses from 21 fixtures this season, Hannover 96 already seemed set for relegation into the 2nd Bundesliga (no team with so many defeats after 21 games has ever survived the drop at the end of the season). Hannover are lacking a Bundesliga quality striker and this goes to show with them only scoring 2 goals in their last 7 games. Including the 0-0 in the Europa League against Liverpool, Augsburg have only scored 2 goals in 5 games (with 3 results of 0-0). With Hannover 96 the more out of form team, but both teams struggling for goals, it seems likely this match will end with under 2.5 goals with an Augsburg away win of 1-0 at 15/2.
