Augsburg are playing its 13th consecutive season in the Bundesliga and were mainly in the lower part of the league's table. That was also the case last season when they finished 15th, just one point away from the relegation playout and three away from direct relegation. The current season started pretty poorly for the Bavarian team, but after replacing the coach, it looks like they managed to change the team's momentum. Right now, Augsburg are 10th with 12 points - six away from their next opponent, Hoffenheim.
Hoffenheim are coming to this season after probably their worst in the last seven seasons. Even though they finished 12th last season, they were only three points away from the relegation playout, so that 12th place looks a lot better than it actually is. This season, "Der Blau" looks a lot better and are currently 6th with 18 points. However, lately, they weren't great, losing four of six games in all competitions. To be fair, most of those losses came against excellent teams, and it is evident that Hoffenheim are not good enough to compete against the best team in Germany.
Augsburg vs Hoffengeim pick: Over 2.5 goals
Augsburg are in excellent form, winning seven points in three games and scoring nine goals - three per game. They are generally a team that plays high-scoring games, especially at home, where they were over 2.5 goals in all five games with an incredible 4.6 goals per game!
In the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim went nine times over 2.5 goals in ten rounds. Only Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen were over 2.5 goals all ten times. Lately, Hoffenheim's results were not great, as they lost four of six games, but they are scoring a lot, regardless of the result. In that six-game period, they scored ten goals (1.67 per game), and they faced much better teams than Augsburg. So, it is fair to expect a goal or two from them in this game as well.
Considering both teams mostly played high-scoring games this season and are in excellent goalscoring form, we think that over 2.5 goals is the safest option for this game.

Augsburg team news
A right full-back, Robert Gumny, suffered a knock and will most likely miss the upcoming game. With him potentially out, Kevin Mbabu, who is as good of an option as Gumny, should start the game.
Besides Gumny, who is a new name on the injury list, the team will also miss several players who already missed the previous game(s): Reece Oxford, Raphael Framberger, David Colina, David Colina, and Frederik Winther.
After a poor start to the season, the club sacked coach Enrico Maassen and appointed Jess Thorup on 12th October. Under the new coach, the team looks a lot better, winning seven points in three games.
