Hoffenheim vs FC Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
The Champions League contenders from Hoffenheim receive the Augsburger, which is threatened with descent, on the final day of the match. While the TSG has to hope for the help of Werder Bremen, the Fuggerstädter need help from the wolves.
Hoffenheim :
The surprise team of the year TSG Hoffenheim plays an outstanding season and rightly on the last day in the fight for the royal class the chance next year to belong to Europe’s best teams. Not least because of the great work of Jungtrainer Julian Nagelsmann the TSG is on the current fourth table place, only four goals separate from the competitor Dortmund.
Although the Sinsheim side were able to make a good 3: 5 victory over Werder Bremen in the last match, they have to hope for Werder Bremen’s goalkeeper in a two-game match against Borussia Dortmund. Nagelsmann and coach of the Bremen Nouri are well befriended and the TSG coach would be a point gain even a vacation with the Werder coach, which of course he would pay.
That they will not win their own game on Saturday against the Augsburger threatened by descent, no one believes in it. Not least because they have not yet lost this season, and have never lost a Bundesliga match against their home crowd.
Defensive player Hübner has been bruised in the game against BVB and is questioned for Saturday. It could be replaced again by Bicakcic.
Baumann – Kaderabek, Süle, Bicakcic, Zuber – Vogt – Demirbay, Rudy – Uth, Kramaric – Wagner
FC Augsburg :
A 4-0 home win against HSV, a 1: 1 for the foals from Gladbach and a respectable 1: 1 at home against BVB are the last three results of the Fuggerstädter threatened by descent. And in the end everything could be too little. In the last game the Augsburg players have to be the Champions League aspiring TSG Hoffenheim and they will not give them anything, on the contrary.
In the case of an HSV victory on Saturday against the wolves, however, even the direct comparison could play a role. For a 2: 3 defeat of the wolves and a simultaneous 2: 2 defeat of the Augsburger both clubs had collected 37 points each and a exactly identical goal ratio of 35:53.
According to Trainerbaum the Augsburger will in no case hide and try to win if possible. For as in Gladbach or against the BVB no one had trusted them and in the end they took a point against both teams, which would also reach the TSG to hold the class. It remains to be seen whether these projects will re-emerge in the hope of bursting hopefuls, as the Augsburgers have never been able to win a Bundesliga match in Hoffenheim. Two of the eight previous matches in Sinsheim were undecided.
Hitz returns to the box despite his hip problems. Otherwise, it can be good that Trainer Baum sends the same starting team as against BVB in the field.
Luthe – Verhaegh, Gouweleeuw, Hinteregger, Stafylidis – Kohr, D. Baier – Schmid, Halil Altintop, Max – Finnbogason
