THE PREDICTION
Seven matches unbeaten and six wins from their last nine have seen Hoffenheim put themselves right in the mix for a European place and their excellent home form this season makes this a very tricky assignment for visitors Augsburg. Key to Hoffenheim’s recent positive run has been their offensive style of play, which has seen them rack up 16 goals across their most recent seven games. When taking this into account, the hosts enter this encounter as firm favourites, however it would be foolish to write off Augsburg completely with them having lost just one of their last six Bundesliga fixtures. So, whilst backing a Hoffenheim win is to be favoured, the sensible move would be to do so via the draw no bet market for extra security.
