Hoffenheim will play in front of the home crowd at Rhein-Neckar Arena on Saturday when they go one-on-one against Augsburg in a Bundesliga clash scheduled to kick off at 13:30 GMT.
Key Highlights
Hoffenheim Look to End their Three-Match Losing Streak in Bundesliga
Hoffenheim have lost their last three matches in the Bundesliga, a run of results that has dented their bid to fight for European places in the run-in.
The losses came against Eintracht Frankfurt away from home (3-1), a home clash against VfB Stuttgart (0-3), and away to leaders Leverkusen (2-1) last time out.
Hoffenheim will look to leverage the home advantage in Saturday’s clash against Augsburg to improve their form.
Coming up against an in-form Augsburg will challenge the home side; however, they will be confident to get something from the match.
In-Form Augsburg Look to Extend their Good Run of Form
Augsburg’s form has been brilliant, with four wins and one draw in their last five Bundesliga outings.
Their five-match winning run ended last weekend when they could only draw 1-1 at home to Koln.
After taking the lead in the 18th minute through an Arne Maier strike, Augsburg conceded in the 33rd minute via a Davie Selke strike. The home side could not find a way through against the robust visitors.
Augsburg will look to return to winning ways when they travel to Hoffenheim on Sunday.
