LiontipsAugsburg vs Hoffenheim. Prediction (odds 2.14) and bets on the Bundesliga match
Command Analysis
Current form
Augsburg is spending another season as a solid mid-table team. In nine rounds, they managed to earn 11 points, with which the team approaches the upcoming game in 12th place in the table. As always, Augsburg is famous for its home performances - 10 points were earned at the VVK Arena. In the previous round, Jess Thorup men earned their first point away from home, drawing with Wolfsburg (1:1). The defense raises some concerns, as they have already managed to concede 20 goals, but it is important to note that the team does not play well against the top teams. For example, they lost 0:4 to the same Leipzig.
Disqualifications and injuries
Oxford, Jensen and Vargas are out with injuries. Rexbeczaj has a card pile-up.
Interesting trends for betting
- Augsburg have not lost in the first half in their last three matches
- Six of the team previous seven Bundesliga matches have seen goals exchanged
Tentative line-up : Labrovich - Matsima, Gaueleu, Schlotterbeck - Wolf, Onyeka, Yakic, Mayer, Giannoulis - Claude-Maurice, Titz.
Current form
Hoffenheim is clearly not coping with the busy schedule they have to play in, as the team does not have much depth. The day before, there was a tough home match with Lyon in the Europa League (2:2). Before that, Pellegrino Matarazzo men lost to St. Pauli (0:2) in the Bundesliga, and before that, there was a draw with Heidenheim (0:0). As a result, Hoffenheim has a modest eight points in the national championship, which allows them to occupy only 16th place. It should be noted that the team has not yet won away in the Bundesliga - two defeats and two draws.

Kabak, Promel, Lenz, Becker and Bebou are injured and will not be able to help their team today.

8.70Tip and bets
Bookmakers deservedly give the advantage to the hosts in this pair. Augsburg has clearly improved during the season, is currently on a three-match unbeaten streak, plus, it plays on its home field, where it traditionally scores the lion share of points. Hoffenheim cannot withstand a tight schedule of games and so far this has had the most negative impact on the results in the Bundesliga.
Our prediction is a win for Augsburg with odds of 2.14
Bet on total
Face-to-face matches between the opponents are regularly held in a tight struggle and are not distinguished by high results. Thus, in the five previous personal meetings, more than three goals were scored only once. Taking into account the set odds, we recommend another option for betting.
The second bet is total under three goals with odds of 1.94
Bet on corners
Augsburg will clearly be playing from a position of strength on their home field and will spend a lot of time at the opponent goal. In this scenario, the hosts will be able to win on corners without any problems.
Prediction: Augsburg win on corners with odds of 1.60
