Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
After eliminating lower-league side Greifswald in their German Cup opener, Augsburg will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they face Augsburg at WWK Arena. The Bavarians have been scoring goals for fun in pre-season, and we predict that they are going to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s football match. Brazil left-back Iago has overcome his long-term injury, while Reece Oxford and Tim Civeja remain in the recovery room.
Fit-again winger Andre Hahn will be one of the men to watch in the home team. Hoffenheim played out a goalless draw with Bordeaux II in their last warm-up game, but given their attacking potential, both teams to score betting option should be considered. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be Andrej Kramaric, who scored 20 goals last season.
