Augsburg have likely done enough to secure safety given they are
11th with 32 points, with just six match weeks remaining in the Bundesliga
season, the seven-point gap that Augsburg hold over St Pauli in the 16th-placed
relegation spot should be enough to guarantee survival.

Boss Manuel Baum will not only be looking for revenge after his
side were beaten 3-0 in the reverse fixture by Hoffenheim in November 2025, but
he will also be looking to guide his team to their first win against the
visitors in five meetings

Hoffenheim’s season has recently taken a turn for the worse, with
the club suffering an eighth Bundesliga loss after Mainz triumphed 2-1 against
them on April 4.

The visitors were in the top four for much of the season, but they
have only taken seven points from the last 24 on offer, winning just two of
their past eight league fixtures so need a win to get their Champions League
hopes back on track.
