Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Hoffenheim play host to Augsburg at their PreZero Arena in a highly-anticipated Bundesliga game. Hoffenheim are eyeing their sixth home win of the process, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Augsburg. All Adamyan, Nordtveit, and Adams Nuhu are likely to miss the game through illness, while midfielder Diadie Samassekou is on international duty.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, are eager to escape the danger zone. Augsburg were showing signs of improvement in the last year finale, but given Hoffenheim’s fine home record, the visitors are unlikely to grab something from Saturday’s clash. Augsburg defender Reece Oxford serves a one-game ban, while all Mads Pedersen, Carlos Gruezo, Alfred Finnbogason, and Tobias Strobl are sidelined with injuries. In their last meeting at the venue Hoffenheim defeated Augsburg 3-1, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
Highlighted Player (Moanes Dabour):
Born in Nazareth on May 14, 1992, Moanes Dabour is an Israel international who plays for Red Bull Salzburg in Austrian Bundesliga. Dabour played in Israeli clubs Maccabi Nazareth and Maccabi Tel Aviv during his youth career and it has to be noted that he played for the two teams at senior level as well.
In 2014 he joined Swiss side Grasshopper and after scoring 41 goals in 82 appearances in the league for the club, he moved to Austria, signing a deal with big-spending Red Bull Salzburg. In 2017 Moanes Dabour was scoring goals for fun in the 2018/2019 Champions League qualifiers, but that eventually did not help the Red Bulls book their place in the group stages of the elite competition.
Speaking of his international career, Moanes Dabour made his Israel debut against Honduras on June 1 2014. Israel won the game 4-2, but the Salzburg attacker failed to mark his debut with a goal.

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.
