Augsburg vs Hoffenheim Prediction 10 April 2026
🔊 Which team will manage to turn their fortunes around? The 29th round of the Bundesliga kicks off with a Friday night clash at the WWK Arena, where Augsburg host Hoffenheim. Both sides are struggling, having gone several matches without a win, yet their objectives differ. Augsburg have no realistic chance of securing a European spot; their primary goal is to avoid the relegation zone in the remaining six matches. Meanwhile, the visitors from Sinsheim were long in the hunt for a top-three finish and a Champions League berth, but by the weekend's end, they could find themselves slipping to sixth place.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first round, Hoffenheim netted three goals before halftime and confidently defeated Augsburg 3-0 at the PreZero Arena. Hoffe have lost just one of their last nine Bundesliga matches against the Bavarians (a 0-1 away defeat in February 2023). Augsburg's current manager, Manuel Baum, has never secured a victory over the club from Sinsheim in six attempts (2 draws, 4 losses).
Head-to-head statistics Augsburg - Hoffenheim
Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 Augsburg managed to halt their three-game losing streak in Hamburg with a 1-1 draw. They took the lead through a first-half goal by Artur Chaves but conceded an equalizer just after the hour mark. Despite playing with a man advantage for the last 26 minutes and generating 2.64 xG, the Fuggerstädter couldn't secure all three points in northern Germany. This draw offers a slight boost in their bid for survival, as Augsburg now sits seven points clear of the relegation zone.
🟢 After 28 rounds, Manuel Baum's side is in 11th place with 32 points. A home victory could see them push into the top half of the table. Werder Bremen (2020/21 season) remains the only team in Bundesliga history to have squandered a seven-point cushion from the relegation zone at this stage and subsequently been relegated to the 2. Bundesliga.
Match Results: Augsburg
Hoffenheim Team Overview
🔵 Christian Ilzer's squad has started to falter at the most crucial stage of the season, despite not being involved in other competitions. Hoffenheim failed to secure a win in their second consecutive home match: following a draw with Wolfsburg (1-1) at the PreZero Arena, the Sinsheim club suffered a defeat against Mainz (1-2). Sandwiched between these results, Hoffenheim endured a heavy loss in Leipzig (0-5), conceding five unanswered goals.
⚪ Over the last six rounds, Hoffenheim have managed just one victory and two draws. These results have seen them slip out of the top three, and they now trail the top four by three points, sitting in fifth place. The Sinsheim club risks dropping to sixth after this weekend, as they are only one point ahead of sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen.

Latest news
Augsburg
🎙️ Manuel Baum, after the draw in Hamburg, remarked: "Especially when you look at the first half, we played a strong game and created plenty of chances. However, shortcomings appeared later. In the second half, Hamburg improved their play, and in stoppage time, they pushed hard to get everything they could. We allowed them back into the game - that's dangerous given our advantage. We need to acknowledge the lack of clarity and the chaos in the final 15 minutes."
❌ Keven Schlotterbeck will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Chrislain Matsima, Yannik Keitel, and Kristijan Jakic are likely to remain sidelined.
Hoffenheim
🎙️ Christian Ilzer, after the match against Mainz, remarked: "The first half was quite a spectacle. We started strong, making Mainz uneasy. We conceded quickly but then equalized. In the second half, the game was more controlled, yet we struggled with aerial duels and couldn't unsettle Mainz. Our defense faltered again on their second goal, which starkly contrasts with our good spells. We're conceding too many clear chances now and lack decisiveness in front of goal, but we won't give up and will provide the team with clear instructions."
❌ Wouter Burger will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Koki Machida, Valentin Jandrey, and Adam Hložek remain sidelined.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
Augsburg lead the league in yellow cards, having accumulated 69 warnings this season. On average, the team receives 2.5 yellows per match. The visitors from Sinsheim have picked up 54 yellow cards, placing them ninth with an average of 2.1 per game. This match could easily exceed a total of 3.5 yellow cards, a mark Augsburg surpassed in their last two games.
⚽ Goal Prediction
According to the odds, Augsburg are the underdogs, but they tend to perform more confidently at home compared to away games. Hoffenheim have conceded in six consecutive rounds and are clearly struggling, so a goal from the hosts seems a reasonable betting choice.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The head-to-head history between Augsburg and Hoffenheim reveals an interesting trend: when Augsburg play at home, the Sinsheim side rarely earn many corners. In their last eight encounters, Hoffenheim's individual corner total was under 6.5 on seven occasions. It is expected that Hoffenheim will once again adopt a more selective approach towards the opponent's goal, making Hoffenheim's individual total under 6.5 corners a logical bet.
Editor's Prediction
Augsburg and Hoffenheim are among the clubs that have never been relegated from the Bundesliga. The visitors are safe from relegation this season, while Augsburg still need to secure their safety. Playing at home gives the Bavarians a convenient opportunity, with three remaining matches at the WWK Arena offering a chance to earn nine points.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, are almost certain to remain in the European competition zone, holding an 11-point lead over seventh place. The team from Sinsheim is aiming to replicate their success from the 2017/18 season when they finished third in the Bundesliga and qualified for the Champions League for the first time.
Considering head-to-head records and statistics, Manuel Baum has yet to defeat Hoffenheim, so a similar outcome seems likely. The main prediction is under 3.5 goals, which has occurred in six of the last seven Bundesliga matches between these clubs. A probable scoreline is 1-1.
