Pick #7: Hoffenheim to win (1.56 Pinnacle)

Bundesliga returns today with Hoffenheim awaiting Augsburg in an empty stadium. These teams are going in very different directions atm.

Hoffenheim has been a beast at home winning 6 out of their last 7 games. These wins came against good teams like Leipzig, Frankfurt. This season they were stopped only 3 times at home with 2 draws against Union Berlin and Monchengladbach, and a loss against Mainz. All these teams are better than Augsburg, so I believe Hoffenheim should not have a problam taking on Augsburg today.

On the other hand, Augsburg is in a bad run having won just 1 our of their last 5 games. They have managed to get just 7 points out of 9 away matches while scoring only 5 goals.  They do not have much firepower and a leaky defense conceding 26 goals in 17 games and 11 in 9 away games. So playing against a team that likes to score a lot like Hoffenheim with 35 goals in 17 games is not a great match for them. Moreover one of starting centerbacks for Augsburg is missing, while no one important missing for Hoffenheim.
