Augsburg vs Hamburger SV prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-11-21 14:30.
[p]Augsburg look to avoid the ignominy of a fifth straight winless league game as they welcome a Hamburg side also without victory across their last four Bundesliga games. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Augsburg spent the international break outside of the Bundesliga’s bottom three by virtue of goal difference alone, after losing their fourth consecutive match 3-2 against Stuttgart in the previous round. Augsburg’s last three league defeats did come against sides that finished in the top-half last season, although a paltry seven points at this stage remains Augsburg’s joint-worst start since 2015/16, which in itself is a damning indictment of Sandro Wagner’s reign after just 12 competitive games at the helm (W3, D1, L8). At home, the last three of those games were all lost while conceding eight unanswered goals.[/p]
[p]In similarly dire straits as their hosts, newly-promoted Hamburg make the long journey south after picking up just one of the last 12 available points, but at least ended a three-game losing run in the Bundesliga via a stoppage-time equaliser against Dortmund last time out. Sitting just two points ahead of their hosts, Hamburg have actually picked up more points than the same stage of their last two top-flight campaigns. The Red Shorts do risk being pulled into the drop zone though, unless they can win a first away league game of the season at the sixth attempt (D2, L3). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The last four H2H encounters have all been won without reply by the home side on the day, with each side claiming two wins apiece. The all-time H2H record is also close, with Augsburg’s eight wins narrowly eclipsing Hamburg’s six (D2). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Augsburg have failed to win three league games when scoring first this season (W2, D1, L2).[/p]
[p]Augsburg have received 33 yellow cards, at least eight more than any other Bundesliga side ahead of the round. [/p]
[p]Hamburg have received a Bundesliga-high four red cards ahead of the round. [/p]
[p]Nine of Hamburg’s 12 goals this season have come after half-time. [/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Fabian Rieder’s three Bundesliga goals this season all opened the scoring for Augsburg, but he failed to win any of those games (D1, L2). Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer netted Hamburg’s dramatic 97th-minute equaliser against Dortmund, which was the fifth of his last six club goals to arrive beyond half time. [/p]
[p]Defensive pair Dimitrios Giannoulis and Jeffrey Gouweleeuw are doubts for Augsburg here, while Yussuf Poulsen is a notable injury concern for Hamburg. [/p]
