Hoffenheim vs Augsburg Prediction 29 November 2025
🔊 On Saturday afternoon in Sinsheim, Hoffenheim will face Augsburg at the PreZero Arena. Christian Ilzer's side are on an impressive run, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches, while Sandro Wagner's squad just broke their four-game winless streak in the previous round. Last season, both encounters between these teams ended in draws. In our prediction, we'll explain why we see the hosts as clear favorites for this clash.
Head-to-Head
📊 Last season at the PreZero Arena, a 1-1 draw was recorded, with Samuel Essende opening the scoring for the Fuggers, before Andrej Kramaric equalized from the penalty spot midway through the second half. In Sinsheim, the Blue and Whites remain unbeaten against Augsburg in their last five encounters-securing four wins and one draw.
Head-to-head statistics Hoffenheim - Augsburg
Hoffenheim Team Overview
🔵 In the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim were riding a four-game winning streak until their recent trip to Mainz. The Blue and Whites took the lead thanks to an own goal by their opponents in the first half, but conceded from a set piece late in the match, resulting in a 1-1 draw. This outcome prevented them from setting a club record of five consecutive Bundesliga victories. However, for the first time in over three and a half years, Hoffenheim have gone five matches unbeaten. The draw also dropped Christian Ilzer's side to seventh place, allowing Eintracht to overtake them. A home win against Augsburg could propel the Blue and Whites into the top four under favorable circumstances. If Hoffenheim drop points again, they will remain in seventh, as they hold a five-point cushion over their nearest challengers.

Augsburg Team Overview
🔴 The "Fuggers" managed to break their four-match winless streak in their last round with a home victory against Hamburg, thanks to a goal by Anton Kade following a cross from Dimitris Giannoulis (1-0). This game marked Augsburg's first clean sheet of the season. The win was their third of the campaign, elevating the club to 13th place and allowing Sandro Wagner to hold onto his managerial position for now. In five Bundesliga away matches, Augsburg have consistently both scored and conceded, but they have suffered three defeats and one draw in their last four away fixtures. A win in Sinsheim could see the "Fuggers" contend for 11th place, while a loss might leave them hovering near the relegation zone again.

Latest news
Hoffenheim
🔝 The recent match in Mainz marked the 500th appearance for the "Blue-Whites" goalkeeper Oliver Baumann. He became only the 14th player in the league's history to reach this milestone. The captain shared his emotions post-game: "It's a wonderful feeling to be in a category with so many legends; it truly means a lot to me. But it's also been hard work to reach 500 matches. I spoke to the guys in the circle after the game, sharing a few more words and thanking them-this milestone was certainly a big topic."
❌ Adam Hložek's return remains uncertain. Koki Machida will definitely miss the game.
Augsburg
🎙 Sandro Wagner on the match against Hoffenheim: "They've had a strong start to the season, playing dynamic football, and the advantage is on their side. We need to neutralize their strengths and bring our own qualities into the game."
🥳 The head coach of the "Fuggers" will celebrate his 38th birthday on match day. Interestingly, Wagner enjoyed the most successful period of his playing career at Hoffenheim: after joining from Darmstadt in 2016, he scored 15 goals in 42 Bundesliga matches for the "Blue-Whites" - more than for any other club.
❌ The team will travel to Sinsheim without two of their key central defenders: captain Jeffrey Gouweleeuw will miss the match due to a knee issue, while Keven Schlotterbeck is suspended following a red card in the last game against Hamburg.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Christian Dingert will officiate the game at the PreZero Arena. In his last match, he was in charge in Heidenheim, where the Red-Blue-Whites faced Eintracht, and he issued only two yellow cards. After 11 rounds, Hoffenheim are the most foul-prone team in the league, with the Blue-Whites committing 150 fouls. Augsburg's players are not far behind with 138 fouls, but they lead in yellow cards, having accumulated 38 over 11 games (averaging 3.5 per match), while Hoffenheim have 23 (averaging two per game). We are opting for over 3.5 total yellow cards-this bet has been successful in Augsburg's last six matches.
⚽ Goal Prediction
In five away matches, Augsburg have won once, but in all five instances, the bet both teams to score (yes) has come through. Hoffenheim have conceded in all five of their home games, making this option seem logical to us.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The average number of corners after 11 rounds for the Blue-Whites is 5.4, while for the Fuggerstädter it's 4.3. We'll go with Augsburg's individual total under 4.5 corners-this bet has been successful in Sandro Wagner's team's last five matches.
Editor's Prediction
Hoffenheim are the clear favorites, given the progress under Christian Ilzer in the first third of the season. Sandro Wagner is a young coach still gaining experience, but Augsburg will try to make their mark, as they aim to play a more passing-oriented style of football. However, the results, stats, and metrics all favor the "Blues": Hoffenheim lead the league in sprints (2042) and total distance covered (1359.5 km), indicating they are among the best physically prepared teams. Their attack is also thriving, with 22 goals making them the fourth-best in the league. Therefore, our prediction is Hoffenheim to score over 1.5 goals. A likely scoreline is 3-1.
