Hoffenheim have had a mixed run lately, with a couple of wins but also some losses, so they haven't quite found steady form. Augsburg are also struggling to get wins - they've picked up a few draws and losses recently, so neither team comes into this one looking especially strong or confident.

When these two have met in recent years, the games have often been tight and low-scoring, with several draws and some narrow results, though a couple of meetings did produce a few goals. This looks like a close, hard-to-call match, and a draw seems the most likely outcome.
