📋 Team News: Hoffenheim

Robert Skov (Hamstring Injury) and Ermin Bicakcic (Fitness) won’t be able to feature for Hoffenheim boss Sebastian Hoeneß.

We think that Hoffenheim will probably make use of the 3-4-1-2 system for this game with Oliver Baumann, Stefan Posch, Kevin Vogt, Chris Richards, Kevin Akpoguma, Angelo Stiller, Dennis Geiger, David Raum, C. Baumgartner, Ihlas Bebou and Andrej Kramaric.

🗞️ Team News: Augsburg

Augsburg boss Markus Weinzierl has a number of players out of action. Carlos Gruezo (Knee Problems), Alfred Finnbogason (Muscular problems), Tomas Koubek (Corona virus) and Tobias Strobl (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will not be playing here. Reece Oxford is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

There’s a good chance that Augsburg appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 formation by sending out Rafal Gikiewicz, Robert Gumny, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Felix Uduokhai, Iago, Daniel Caligiuri, Arne Maier, Niklas Dorsch, Ruben Vargas, Andre Hahn and Andi Zeqiri.

✨ Prediction

In this match, Augsburg have enough to breach the defence of this Hoffenheim side, although that probably won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We’re predicting a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 winning score for Hoffenheim when the full-time whistle blows. Looking forward to seeing how this one unfolds.
