Augsburg - Hamburger SV predictions

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

Hamburger SV are not a team that backs down from a challenge and we expect them to give their best in an effort to claim a victory in this match.

Augsburg will not be too disappointed with their latest away defeat (Stuttgart). It was a game they were expected to lose on a big margin anyway. But they still kept it alive for the first 45 minutes and gave their rivals a run for their money, with one goal deciding the entire match.

Most bookies were expecting the away team’s previous match to be completely one-sided, but it ended with a 1:1 draw. They went toe to toe with Borussia Dortmund throughout the game’s runtime, which is not something most Bundesliga betting tips saw coming.

Looking over the home team’s recent record, we can see a worrying trend. They’ve conceded more than 5 goals over the past 3 matches alone, indicating problems in their defensive lineup.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

Hamburger SV only managed to secure 9 points in the 11 games they appeared in. We’re still months away from the end of the season, but a number 13th spot in the standings is nothing to be proud of. That said, most bookies see them as more-or-less evenly matched with Augsburg, so earning 3-points won’t be a cakewalk.

Saturday's match will see both teams at their strongest, with no players missing due to injury or suspension.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
