Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Hoffenheim in 12th and Augsburg in 8th place.
- Hoffenheim have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Augsburg have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Europa League match only four days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Crvena Zvezda.
Augsburg have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
Hoffenheim form and stats
When playing at home in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim have managed 1 win, 1 draw and suffered 2 defeats from 4 games.
Hoffenheim travelled for their previous game, a trip to Crvena Zvezda that ended 0-0. 1-1 away at Mainz 05 before that.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Hoffenheim have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found three games) they have won one time, drawn zero and lost two.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Hoffenheim, as the Europa League home game vs Gent is only three days away.
The Hoffenheim manager S. Hoeneß has got the team scoring with 8 from 4 home games in the league. Hoffenheim are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (8 from 4 played).
Augsburg form and stats
1-2-1 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Augsburg in their Bundesliga matches away.
Augsburg's last game was the home draw against Freiburg (1-1). A 1-1 draw at Borussia M'gladbach's stadium before that.
Augsburg are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, three draws and one defeat. From a total of seven matches.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Augsburg have scored 5 goals in 4 league games away. 5 goals have been conceded by Augsburg in these games.
Head 2 Head
