TSG Hoffenheim vs FC Augsburg Prediction & Preview

Preview

This Sunday, the PreZero Arena is set to host an intriguing Bundesliga clash as TSG Hoffenheim welcome FC Augsburg for what promises to be a captivating match in the 28th round of Germany's top-flight football. Both teams have had contrasting fortunes leading up to this encounter, setting the stage for a potentially thrilling contest.

TSG Hoffenheim, under the guidance of Pellegrino Matarazzo, are looking to bounce back from their recent form which has seen them secure just 6 points from their last 5 games. Their previous outing resulted in a narrow 2-1 defeat away at Bayer 04 Leverkusen, indicating that they might be eager to return to winning ways in front of their home crowd. Currently sitting at 9th on the table with 33 points, Hoffenheim have been finding it tough defensively, conceding an average of 1.9 goals per game overall and even when playing at home they've let in an average of 1.4 goals per match.

On the other side, Jess Thorup's FC Augsburg comes into this game with remarkable momentum following a stellar run that has seen them amass an impressive tally of 13 points from their last five matches. Their most recent fixture ended in a hard-fought draw against FC Köln at home (1-1), showcasing their resilience and tactical flexibility under Thorup’s regime. Occupying the seventh spot with a total of 36 points thus far into the season reflects well on their aspirations for European qualification spots.

The head-to-head record between these two sides adds another layer of intrigue; both teams have shared spoils equally over their last five encounters with two wins each and one draw – including Augsburg's narrow victory (1-0) when they last met earlier this season.

A standout aspect going into this fixture is both teams' goal-scoring form - particularly away from home where FC Augsburg averages an impressive tally of scoring over twice as many goals compared to Hoffenheim’s performance at PreZero Arena.
