THE PREDICTION
Hoffenheim have been a bit of a bogey team for Augsburg, with the Bavarian club winning just one of the last 11 Bundesliga meetings between the two sides and losing the last five at home. That said, Heiko Herrlich’s men are in decent form at the WWK Arena coming into this one, taking seven points from their last four home matches and only losing to third-placed Wolfsburg. They have not kept a clean sheet on home soil since September, though, while Hoffenheim have registered just one clean sheet on their travels in the league all season. Both teams have scored in six of their last eight Bundesliga games and that looks likely to be the case again on Saturday.
