Hoffenheim - Augsburg betting tips and odds

Hoffenheim are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Augsburg winning, though.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Augsburg fans are expecting them to triumph at Hoffenheim this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Hoffenheim and their form were in shambles last week as they barely managed to scrape together a 1:1 draw against Borussia M'gladbach . They went into the match with both a home advantage and a favourable matchup but left with a single point and a shaken confidence.

Augsburg’s previous away game was quite uneventful, all things considered. Playing at Greuther Fürth, the scores were tied at half time and carried over into a 0:0 draw. Hopefully, we’ll see some more excitement in round 18.

Hoffenheim gans are hoping for better defensive performance then what they’ve seen in away games. The previous three matches featured 6 conceded goals.

Hoffenheim played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Saturday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

The odds being what they are, remember that they were priced with various injuries in mind. The hosts reported that Ermin Bičakčić, Marco John, Robert Skov, Jacob Bruun Larsen will have to sit this one out, while Augsburg will have to make do without Felix Uduokhai, Carlos Gruezo, Tobias Strobl, Tim Civeja, Alfreð Finnbogason.
