Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
WWK Arena will host Sunday’s football game between Augsburg and Hoffenheim. The Bavarians have been having their ups and downs of late, losing to Freiburg, beating Borussia Dortmund, while sharing the spoils with Wolfsburg and, no doubt, they are eager to start winning on a regular basis. Midfielder Elvis Rexhbecaj serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while all Fredrik Jensen, Mads Pedersen, Ruben Vargas, Daniel Klein, and Reece Oxford miss out with injuries.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to St. Pauli. As Augsburg have turned their WWK Arena into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hands empty. In their last meeting in the national championshp Hoffenheim defeated Augsburg 3-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. The likes of Lenz, Geiger, Bebou, Promel, Becker, and Kabak miss out with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Pavel Kaderabek):
Pavel Kaderabek is a Czech Republic defender born on 25 April 1992, who has enjoyed a bright start to his professional career. Coming through the youth ranks at Sparta Prague and gaining some first team experience during a loan spell with Viktoria Zizkov, the right-sided defender was finally able to show what he is capable of during the 2012/2013 season and he didn’t need a lot of time to make the next step in his career.
After scoring impressive 10 goals in 76 league appearances for Sparta Prague, Kaderabek joined Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in the summer of 2015, shortly after he had established himself as a starting right-back in the Czech Republic national team.
The talented footballer helped Repre make it to the Euro 2016 finals by starting 9 qualifying matches, once again proving his killer instinct by scoring two goals. Pavel Kaderabek looks set to become one of leading players of the new generation and a big club move may not be far away either.
Highlighted Team (Augsburg):
Augsburg are a German football club founded in Augsburg, Bavaria back in 1907. Die Fuggerstadter play in German Bundesliga and with 12,200 members they are regarded as the largest football club in Bavaria. Augsburg wear white shirts and they host their rivals at WWK ARENA.
The capacity of the stadium is 30,660 and it has been the home of Augsburg since 2009. Augsburg won the Schwaben Cup 13 times and it has to be noted that they were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2011.
The club qualified for the Europa League 2015/2016 group stages and thanks to a 3-1 win over Partizan in Belgrade they booked their place in the last 32. However, Liverpool proved to be a big catch for the German outfit in the Europa League knockout stages.
Die Fuggerstadter’s main rivals are TSV 1860 Munich and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other.
