On Friday, starting at 19:30 pm, the match Hoffenheim – Augsburg will be played in the 15th round of the Bundesliga, the 2019/2020 edition. Hoffenheim is unbeaten with Augsburg in 8 games, and has not lost any of the previous 8 straight disputes. However, the guests are eager for Friday’s game, having a series of 4 stages in the Bundesliga without defeat.
Hoffenheim got off to a great start with coach Alfred Schreuder, but showed signs of fatigue. After the “cold shower” with Mainz, score 1-5 and the draw with Dusseldorf, score 1-1, followed a new defeat. Last time, Leipzig defeated Hoffenheim by 3-1, but the score could be much more severe. The “Red Bulls” had no less than 14 sutures on the door of Schreuder’s students. Hoffenheim “swims” in dangerous waters, and a first failure on the R-N-Arena against Augsburg would bring nothing positive.
Augsburg is one step closer to equaling the best series in the Bundesliga, 5 stages without defeat, successful in 2017. The team prepared by Martin Schmidt has won 3 wins and one draw (10 points), only Leipzig having more points in this interval (12). Augsburg is currently out of the fight to avoid relegation, and with another 3 possible points, could reach “a length” of the opponent on Friday. Currently, the “little bavarians” ranks 12th in the Bundesliga, with 17 points.
The poor form of Hoffenheim’s defense (9 goals in the last 3 stages) will provide plenty of opportunities for Augsburg to score. Also, the different moods of the two camps could tilt the balance in favor of the guests, but this land is not favorable to them. However, there is one fact of major interest, Hoffenheim has scored at least 2 goals in 7 of the last 8 meetings with Augsburg.
