Hoffenheim - Augsburg betting tips and odds

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

Augsburg stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 7.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

Hoffenheim have a lot of reasons to be proud of their previous Bundesliga performance. Their opponents Bayer Leverkusen were hard favourites and had the home-field advantage, but Hoffenheim pulled ahead in the first half. The end result was a stunning 0:3 away win.

The visiting team went into their previous Bundesliga matchup as the clear underdogs, with prices on them winning floating around 2.06. They kept up with their opponents for a good chunk of the match and maintained a draw, but eventually conceded and recorded a 1:2 home loss.

The home team’s attackers have been highly effective recently. Our records show more than 5 goals scored over the course of their 3 latest matches. This bodes well for their upcoming performance.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Augsburg’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

The hosts’ position as favourites is hard to question after the dominance they displayed last season. They consistently recorded decisive victories in this matchup, so it’s quite likely that they’ll manage to do so again.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Philipp Pentke, Ermin Bičakčić, Benjamin Hübner, Ihlas Bebou. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Reece Oxford, Tobias Strobl, Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee, Niklas Dorsch. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

Our tip is to risk an Over 3.5 Goals wager. The 2.20 are worth giving up the relative safety of a simpler Over 2.5. That said, it’s still a relatively riskier bet than what some punters might prefer.
