Augsburg
Augsburg are going through a crisis of sorts, losing three straight Bundesliga matches before drawing 1-1 against Hamburger SV in their last match.
However, they have a seven-point buffer over the relegation playoff spot, so they should be able to steer clear.
Six games remain until the end, but the next three are very difficult for Augsburg – TSG Hoffenheim, Bayer Leverkusen, and Eintracht Frankfurt. Their final three are against teams from the bottom half, and at least one win is needed for them to secure their league status.
Interestingly, Augsburg’s head coach, Manuel Baum, has never recorded a victory against TSG Hoffenheim in six matches (four defeats, two draws).
Augsburg is clearly a better team at home, where they have recorded 6 of their 9 wins this season. Recently, they won three straight at home before heavily losing 2-5 against VfB Stuttgart in their last home match.
TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim started slipping in a crucial part of the season. They are now winless in three matches, drawing once and losing twice in a row against RB Leipzig (5-0) and Mainz (1-2).
They are now fifth, only three points behind the fourth Champions League spot, but they cannot make any mistakes now in their remaining six games of the season.
TSG Hoffenheim have a positive record against Augsburg in recent years, remaining unbeaten in 8 of the last 9 Bundesliga duels against them, losing only once. They comfortably beat them 3-0 in their first duel this season.
The Betting Verdict
Augsburg is in poor shape, but TSG Hoffenheim is in crisis as well. Their last week’s home defeat against lowly Mainz was painful, and TSG Hoffenheim must find a way to win this game to remain in the race for Champions League spots.
It could be a nervy game between two shaky sides at the moment, but I expect quality to prevail and TSG Hoffenheim to edge it at good odds.
The Pick :
