In terms of current form and home advantage, Augsburg has a slight edge. However, when considering the squad strength and head-to-head record, Hoffenheim is dominant. Therefore, it will be a difficult task for the home team to redeem themselves from their loss in the first leg, as they face their formidable opponent at the WWK Arena.

Today's Augsburg vs Hoffenheim Predictions

Hoffenheim has been struggling lately, having lost five out of their last six games before their upcoming Bundesliga match against Augsburg on Friday. Check out our Augsburg vs Hoffenheim predictions for this week's fixture below.

Augsburg Double Chance

Augsburg has won their last two Bundesliga matches at the WWK Arena against Gladbach and Leverkusen, indicating that they are in good form and well-positioned to continue their success at home. On the other hand, Hoffenheim has been struggling with five losses and one draw in their last six games in all competitions. Therefore, our initial prediction for the Augsburg vs Hoffenheim match leans towards betting on Augsburg in the double chance market, which offers excellent value.

Under 2.5 Goals

In the past, Augsburg's meetings with Hoffenheim were almost guaranteed to have plenty of goals, except for their early season encounter. Since March 2018, eight out of their nine scuffles have produced over 2.5 goals. Additionally, 67% of Hoffenheim's away fixtures in the Bundesliga since August have featured at least three goals. More excitement could be in store when Hoffenheim visits the WWK Arena on Friday evening. However, our second prediction leans towards betting on under 2.5 goals.

Preview and Prediction for Augsburg vs Hoffenheim

Augsburg has been showing inconsistent form this season, and they are always in a relegation battle similar to last season. Specifically, after 20 rounds played, they have only won 6, drawn 3, and lost as many as 11 matches at their home ground, the WWK Arena, leaving them in 13th place on the table with only four more points than the playoff spot. Therefore, they need to improve their form soon if they don't want to fall into the bottom group.

On the other side of the pitch, the time that was given up for the World Cup qualifying matches did not help Hoffenheim improve their poor performance. In particular, they have lost 4 and drawn 1 in their last 5 rounds of the Bundesliga. This has pushed them down to 14th place on the table with only 3 more points than the relegation zone. Therefore, they need to regain their form soon to accomplish their goal of staying in the top flight.
