Team News

Hoffenheim
  • With Isaac Vorsah still suspended, Jannik Vestergaard and Marvin Compper could start at centre-back again.
  • The front four and Sejad Salihovic often switch positions during the course of a game.
  • New signing Srdjan Lakic, who joined the club on loan from Wolfsburg during the week, could make his debut up front, meaning Ryan Babel would switch back to the left wing.
Augsburg
  • Mohamed Amsif and Nando Rafael are at the African Cup of Nations and therefore unavailable for this game.
  • New signing Jan Moravek is injured again.
  • Ja-Cheol Koo, who joined the club on loan from Wolfsburg during the week, could make his debut in central attacking midfield.
  • Manager Luhukay will probably field a 4-2-3-1 again.

Prediction

  • Hoffenheim have not won in their last three games (two draws, one loss) and are not in their best form at the moment. It remains to be seen how quickly new signing Sdrjan Lakic will be able to adapt to the new system.
  • Augsburg have found some kind of stability lately, despite still being clear favourites to go down again. The loan signings of Jan Moravek and Ja-Cheol Koo should add some creativity to their midfield and improve the team on the attack.
  • Expect both teams to get their chances in course of the game. Hoffenheim should be slight favourites to win at home, but Augsburg will defend very deep and they are not to be underestimated.
  • PREDICTION: Hoffenheim win 2-1
