Hoffenheim vs Augsburg prediction, odds & betting tips – 29/11/2025

Fresh from securing a much-needed return to winning ways, Augsburg will head to the PreZero Arena on Saturday afternoon to face off against Hoffenheim.

While the visitors are currently aiming to steer clear of the drop zone, their hosts have loftier ambitions, with European football a possibility.

Hoffenheim vs Augsburg prediction: Hoffenheim to carry the day

Key stats

• Hoffenheim saw their three-game winning run come to an end in their most recent outing, but they are now unbeaten in four matches.
• Goals have been a common feature in games involving the hosts, with five of their last seven matches yielding at least three goals.
• Meanwhile, the reverse is the case for Augsburg, whose last seven matches have yielded fewer than three goals on five occasions.

Correct score prediction: Hoffenheim 2-1 Augsburg

No team has picked up more points than Hoffenheim over the last five Bundesliga gameweeks (13), so Die Kraichgauer will head into this weekend's encounter with the wind in their sails.

The home side have been in scintillating form in front of their fans lately, and we fully expect them to get the job done once again.

Pre-game odds and win probability: A relatively straightforward task expected for the hosts

• HOME: 7/10 (1.70) – 58.8%
• DRAW: 3/1 (4.00) – 25%
• AWAY: 17/5 (4.40) –22.7%

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change

After losing their first three home matches of the campaign by a combined score of 8-2, Hoffenheim have won the subsequent three by a combined score of 9-2.

With a win probability of 58.8%, Christian Ilzer's men have been heavily fancied to give their supporters reason to cheer come the sound of the final whistle.

On the other hand, Augsburg's recent struggles away from home, following three defeats and a draw from the last four outings, see them enter this weekend's clash as second favourites.

Still, Sandro Wagner's men have cause for optimism off the back of a 1-0 triumph over Hamburger last time out, which ended their six-game winless run.

Hoffenheim preview: Adam Hlozek drawing increasingly closer to season debut

Scoring eight times in 27 league matches, Hlozek had a decent debut season with Hoffenheim, but has been unable to contribute this term as he continues to nurse a foot injury.

However, the Czech Republic international is closing in on a return to action, although this weekend's clash is expected to come too soon.

Predicted lineup:Baumann (GK), Coufal, Hranac, Hajdari, Bernardo, Promel, Avdullahu, Burger, Kramaric, Asllani & Toure

Hoffenheim's last five matches:

• Mainz 1-1 Hoffenheim (Bundesliga)
• Hoffenheim 3-0 Greuther Furth (Friendly)
• Hoffenheim 3-1 Leipzig (Bundesliga)
• Wolfsburg 2-3 Hoffenheim (Bundesliga)
• St. Pauli 2-2 (8-7 on pens.) Hoffenheim (DFB Pokal)

Augsburg preview: Cedric Zesiger to fill in for the suspended Keven Schlotterbeck

Having received his marching orders against Hamburger, Schlotterbeck is ineligible to feature for Augsburg.

This should see Zesiger come into the Xi for what would be only a fourth starting appearance of the campaign.

Predicted lineup: Dahmen (GK), Zesiger, Matsima, Banks, Giannoulis, Rexhbecaj, Massengo, Fellhauer, Kade, Claude-Maurice, Rieder

Augsburg's last five matches:

• Augsburg 1-0 Hamburger (Bundesliga)
• Stuttgart 3-2 Augsburg (Bundesliga)
• Augsburg 0-1 Dortmund (Bundesliga)
• Augsburg 0-1 Bochum (DFB Pokal)
• Augsburg 0-6 Leipzig (Bundesliga)

Player to watch – Grischa Promel

Promel had to make do with substitute appearances in the early exchanges of the campaign, but has nailed down a starting berth in recent matches and unsurprisingly so.

The 30-year-old has been directly involved in five goals in his last six outings, while also providing his side with some dynamism in the centre of the park.

Promel is poised to make a fifth consecutive start for the hosts on Saturday and will be aiming to deliver the goods once again.
