In the first H2H game this season, Hoffenheim dominated and won 3:0. They pretty much won the game in the first half, having already scored all three goals. Looking further back, in the past ten H2H games, Augsburg won twice, while Hoffenheim won five times.
Regarding the number of goals, we saw three or more goals in four out of the past ten H2H games, while both teams scored in the same number of games (five).
Augsburg team overview
Augsburg are playing their 15th consecutive season in the Bundesliga, where they have mostly been in the middle or lower part of the table. This year, they had problems for most of the season, and it looked like they could get involved in a relegation battle. However, after a coaching change, they had a great month-and-a-half from mid-January to March, during which they climbed significantly. Now, they went on a bad streak again but are in 11th place with 32 points from 28 rounds - seven points away from the relegation play-off. Still, with only six rounds to go, no one really thinks they are in danger anymore.
Central defender Keven Schlotterbeck will be unavailable for the upcoming game due to the accumulation of yellow cards. The 28-year-old has probably been Augsburg's best player this season, and his absence will be a massive factor.
Kristijan Jakic, who missed the previous game with a knock, should be available, while Chrislain Matsima and Yannik Keitel should remain sidelined with their injuries.

Hoffenheim team overview
Hoffenheim bounced back this year after an atrocious last one when they finished 15th. This season, the team from Sinsheim is doing a great job and was firmly in the Champions League spots before the last two losses. However, now they dropped to 5th and are only three points behind 3rd and 4th place. However, reaching the Champions League will definitely be a challenge given their pretty tough schedule in the remaining six games.
Defensive midfielder Wouter Burger received his fifth yellow card in the previous game and will serve his one-game suspension against Augsburg. Wouter started in 89% of Bundesliga games, having scored four goals and assisted on eight. Regarding injuries, the team should have no new ones, but Valentin Gendrey, Adam Hlozek, and Koki Machida should remain sidelined with theirs.

Prediction
Both teams are in terrible form. However, most of Augsburg's bad performances came on the road. At home, they lost only once in the past nine games. Moreover, Augsburg lost only five out of 14 home Bundesliga games - 36%, and we believe they can make this game close at WWK Arena.
Hoffenheim are on an extended poor streak, having won only once in the past seven games across competitions. That win came against the worst team in the league, Heidenheim. Lately, they have had massive defensive problems on the road, allowing 16 goals in the previous four games - 4.0 per game!
Also, at WWK Arena, Augsburg haven't lost in the past four H2H games. Considering all the above, we expect a really close game, and we believe that the hosts should win at least one point in this Bundesliga tie.
4 Reasons why Augsburg should win or draw
- Augsburg lost once in the past nine home games
- Hoffenheim won once in the past seven games
- Hoffenheim allowed 16 goals in the past four road games
- Augsburg haven't lost in the past four H2H games at WWK Arena
