Hoffenheim vs Augsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2022-08-26 13:30.
After ending last season with nine league games without a win (D3, L6) and losing their Bundesliga opener this campaign, Hoffenheim seemed to be trending in the wrong direction. However, consolidating their come-from-behind 3-2 victory vs Bochum with an early contender for performance of the season, when besting Leverkusen 3-0 last time out, shows they’re turning the tide in their favour and may make a solid push for Europe this campaign after a disappointing ninth place finish last season.
Augsburg will be hoping that the footballing Gods will be on their side for this game, after they were robbed of a point when conceding a 93rd minute sucker-punch against Mainz in their last outing (L 2-1). Augsburg clearly aren’t a fan of sharing the spoils, as that now makes it 13 Bundesliga matches without a draw, the longest run in the league.
The Fuggerstädter’s only wins this season have come away from home though, with a 4-0 thumping of BW Lohne in the DFB-Pokal, before a mightily impressive 2-1 win at Bayer Leverkusen in the league. That shows Augsburg do carry a threat on their travels, emphasised by them being able to find the net in 13 of their last 17 away matches, an impressive feat for a side that’s finished 12th or below for seven consecutive seasons.
Players to watch: Hoffenheim will look to Andrej Kramarić to do some damage, given he’s been involved in 12 goals in 12 Bundesliga games vs Augsburg (G4, A8). As for the visitors, Ermedin Demirović has a goal and an assist in his last two matches, while five of his last six domestic goals have come away from home.
Hot stat: Hoffenheim have scored eight of their last ten Bundesliga goals during the first half.
