Confirmed lineups: Hoffenheim vs. Augsburg

Amidst a promising run, TSG 1899 Hoffenheim will aim to continue their strong Bundesliga form when they host FC Augsburg. The Kraichgauer currently sit in the top half of the table and only three points off of third place, unbeaten in several recent matches, and boast an attacking threat that has yielded solid results in their latest outings.

For Augsburg, the trip to the PreZero Arena presents a chance to build on the morale-boosting victory they claimed in their previous match. Sandro Wagner, Augsburg’s head coach, is particularly motivated: he once played for Hoffenheim (50 games, 18 goals) and now returns on the opposing touchline, adding an intriguing subplot to the fixture.

With just about one hour to go until kickoff, here are the confirmed lineups for both teams:
