Hertha BSC - Augsburg betting tips and odds

With bookies pricing a home win at 2.10, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

At 3.90 betting odds, an away win would be a huge surprise and we’re positive Augsburg are well aware of it themselves.

Hertha BSC are coming on the back of a crushing 2:0 away defeat at the hands of Wolfsburg . The odds were against them from the start, and they never managed to recover from the early lead Wolfsburg grabbed.

Augsburg must be feeling fairly confident after their performance in their latest Bundesliga game. They were the away team in a very tough matchup against Mainz 05 but managed to grab a lead in the first half and turn it into a narrow, but praiseworthy 0:1 victory.

The first step Team from Berlin need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The season is not going spectacularly well for Hertha, and fans are hoping that this will spur them towards better results. With a 15th table position, they are just 1 point away from the dreaded relegation zone. Thankfully, there’s still plenty of time to make a stronger impression.

Hertha already have a victory over Augsburg on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Bundesliga, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Javairô Dilrosun, Matheus Cunha, Sami Khedira for the hosts, and Iago, Fredrik Jensen, Alfreð Finnbogason, Tim Civeja for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.91.
