Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Augsburg and Hoffenheim go head to head at WWK Arena in what is expected to be a close Bundesliga encounter. The Bavarians aim to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Freiburg, and three points from Saturday’s clash will see them escape the relegation zone. Keep in mind, though, that all Niederlechner, Civeja, Jensen, Finnbogason, and Iago are sidelined through injuries.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Stuttgart and Mainz in the previous two league fixtures, and, no doubt, they are eager to grab something from the WWK Arena clash. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards, and we believe that punters can find value in betting on draw. All Stafylidis, Nordtveit, Geiger, Bicakcic, and Hubner are likely to miss the game through injuries for the visiting team.
