One of Hoffenheim's biggest issues on home soil in the league has been keeping clean sheets, as they have conceded in their last 16 Bundesliga games at the PreZero Arena.
Augsburg looking to build on a strong recent runThe Bavarians extended their unbeaten run in the Bundesliga to five games last time out, drawing 1-1 on home soil against Koln. The draw ended the visitors' four-game winning run in the German top-flight.
Augsburg’s recent decent run has moved the visitors up to seventh place, five points adrift of the European spots.
Jesse Thorup’s team has experienced mixed fortunes lately on their travels in the Bundesliga.
The visitors have recorded back-to-back away wins at Darmstadt and Wolfsburg, but they have also won just three of their last nine away games in the German top flight.
Their recent away games in the Bundesliga have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last seven league matches on their travels.
What am I backing?Augsburg has been impressive in the Bundesliga lately, while Hoffenheim has struggled. I can see this being a high-scoring game, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
