Augsburg preview: Mid-table Augsburg
Augsburg begin this weekend's round of fixtures sitting firmly in mid-table. They are also in indifferent form and 'on the beach' so to speak as they coast towards the end of the Bundesliga season.
They returned from the March international break by being pegged back to a 1-1 draw in the second-half by fellow mid-table outfit Hamburg in their most recent outing at the Volksparkstadion last weekend.
Hoffenheim preview: Frustrated Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim remain in the hunt for a top four finish and potential UEFA Champions League qualification, under the management of former Sturm Graz boss Christian Ilzer.
The visitors have been in shaky form for a while now, though, and that continued last weekend as they returned from the break by succumbing to a 2-1 defeat at home to Mainz at the PreZero Arena.

Augsburg vs Hoffenheim prediction
Hoffenheim have now won just one of their last five matches in the Bundesliga, now sitting three points behind fourth placed Stuttgart ahead of this match day. With little to play for, Augsburg may well take the handbrake off and Hoffenheim, at their best, are often a fun team to watch and so may wan to punch their way out of trouble with both teams scoring seeming a reasonably good bet for this one at the WWK Arena.
