LiontipsAugsburg vs Hoffenheim. Prediction and Betting Tips for Bundesliga
Command Analysis
Augsburg are going through a turbulent season and failed to gain consistency after the winter break, alternating wins with losses. However, Enrico Maassen's team started to play much better at home, getting narrow victories with flawless defensive game.
The Fuggers sit 13th in the standings with 21 points, four ahead of the relegation zone. After a successful performance against Bayer (1:0) team suffered an away defeat to Mainz (1:3) in a close encounter.
Hoffenheim have been terrible since the Bundesliga return, they had five defeats and one draw in six latest matches, going further down in the standings. Such a dreadful performance led to sacking of team's manager, who got replaced by Pellegrino Matarazzo. However, he was unable to prevent the Villagers' defeat to Bayer (1:3).
Sinsheim team is getting closer to the relegation zone, terrible defensive positioning and deficit of quality offensive players are not making things better for the Villagers. Team is just two points ahead of drop zone and lower placed teams are starting to improve, so visitors should brace themselves for a tough relegation battle.

Tip and bets
Both clubs have their own problems. Opponents are uninspiring on the offense, but Augsburg are much better on the defensive end. The Fuggers are always competitive at home, so it is tough for anyone to beat them at WWK Arena.
New head coach failed to improve Hoffenheim's offensive performance so far. Motivation alone is not enough to beat the opponent, so we offer to place a bet on the hosts.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) on Augsburg
Fuggers are a defensive minded team, so they are unlikely to score many goals. The Villagers will also have defense as their main priority, but they failed to keep a clean sheet in recent matches. We are expecting a close encounter with hosts snatching a one-goal victory.
Our second bet is on Augsburg to win by one goal
