Augsburg - Hoffenheim predictions

The online bookies marked Augsburg as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Hoffenheim winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Augsburg is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Hoffenheim.

Augsburg thought they could pull off a major surprise in the last Bundesliga round. They were leading at the halftime of a very difficult trip but could not hold onto the lead for the full 90 minutes and had to settle for a Wolfsburg daw.

A 0:2 defeat is not something Hoffenheim expected when it comes to their previous league match. They were clear favourites to claim a win but ended up disappointing their fans. Therefore the Sunday clash is a perfect opportunity to bounce back.

The hosts will hopefully perform better than what we’ve seen from their away games. The 5 concessions they recorded over the past 3 away games has some fans reeling.

Our confidence in Hoffenheim and, more specifically, their defenses, is shaky at best. After more than 5 concessions in three consecutive home games, most bookies and pundits see them as unreliable.

Before committing to any betting predictions, we’ll have to mention the harsh defeat Augsburg suffered last season. Hoffenheim walked away with an impressive victory on that occasion which directly defies the $ODDS home win odds offered by top online bookmakers.

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 Ruben Vargas, Fredrik Jensen, Reece Oxford, Daniel Klein. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Ihlas Bebou, Finn Ole Becker, Grischa Prömel, Christopher Lenz. 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 advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1 if you use the 1xbet sportsbook.
