Augsburg Form
Augsburg sit 11th in the standings with 32 points. The gap to the relegation zone is seven points – a decent cushion, but it is still too early to relax completely. The team have dipped noticeably of late and are now without a win in four straight matches (one draw, three defeats). However, in their last outing they did at least share the points away to a neighbour in the table, Hamburg (1:1). At the same time, Augsburg are making regular mistakes at the back: with 51 goals conceded in 28 rounds, Manuel Baum's side are among the five worst defences in the league.
At least two goals have been scored in each of the team's last six Bundesliga matches.
In 14 home games in the 2025/26 season, Augsburg have won six (three draws, five defeats).
The club have scored in their last six home league matches.
Potential Augsburg Lineup (3-4-3)
Finn Dahmen – Arthur Chaves, Keven Schlotterbeck, Cedric Zesiger – Robin Fellhauer, Kristijan Jakic, Han-Noah Massengo, Dimitris Giannoulis – Fabian Rieder, Rodrigo Ribeiro, Alexis Claude-Maurice.
Due to injury, defender Chrislain Matsima and midfielder Yannik Keitel will not take part in the match.
Hoffenheim Form
Hoffenheim round out the top five in the table with 50 points. They are only three points adrift of the Champions League places, so motivation is not an issue, but recent results have been underwhelming. Across the last six rounds, the club have just one win (two draws, three defeats) – and even that came against Heidenheim (4:2). What is more, the team have lost their last two matches, first suffering a heavy defeat to a direct rival, Leipzig (0:5), and then going down at home to Mainz (1:2). Going forward, Hoffenheim look decent and have scored plenty (55 goals this season). Defensively, though, they have been far too fragile: the team have failed to keep a clean sheet in six straight games and have conceded 41 goals in 28 rounds overall.
In 14 away games this season, the team have won seven (four draws, three defeats).
Both teams to score has landed in four of Hoffenheim's last six league matches.
The club have scored in five of their last six away Bundesliga matches.
Potential Hoffenheim Lineup (4-2-1-3)
Oliver Baumann – Vladimir Coufal, Ozan Kabak, Robin Hranac, Bernardo Silva – Leon Avdullahu, Wouter Burger – Andrej Kramaric – Alexander Prass, Fisnik Asllani, Bazoumana Toure
In the treatment room, the team have defenders Koki Machida and Valentin Gendrey, as well as forward Adam Hlozek.
