Matches involving Stuttgart have often been engaging ones of late with plenty of scoring being a real hallmark. Over their past 6 games alone, a total of 21 goals have flown in for both sides combined (at an average of 3.5 goals per game) with 13 of them coming from Stuttgart. Let’s find out whether or not that trend will be continued on in this game.

Their previous form shows that Stuttgart:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Augsburg in their previous 6 games.
• are without a win at home for the past 6 league games. Fans are getting restless.

Augsburg

DLWDLL

Following on from being defeated in their last game at the hands of Holstein Kiel in Bundesliga competition, Augsburg and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that match, Augsburg had 72% possession and 27 shots at goal with 10 on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Augsburg was Steve Mounié (90'). On the other side, Holstein Kiel had 7 shots at goal with 5 on target. Shuto Machino (25') and Alexander Bernhardsson (40', 51') scored for Holstein Kiel.

Looking at their form, and Augsburg have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, conceding 10 goals in all. Defensively, Augsburg have been far from perfect.

Coming into this meeting, Augsburg have not registered a win against Stuttgart in games played away from home for the previous 6 league matches. They really have not been travelling well at all.

👥 Head to head

An inspection of their past head to head meetings stretching back to 29/10/2022 tells us that these fixtures have not been good ones for Augsburg. They have not been able to register any victories whatsoever whereas Stuttgart have been dominant against them, getting wins in 83% of those matches.

A sum of 11 goals were shared by the two clubs during those clashes, with 9 of them from Stuttgart and 2 created by Augsburg. The average number of goals per game works out to 1.83.

ℹ️ Team News: Stuttgart

Dan-Axel Zagadou (Outer ligament problems), Leonidas Stergiou (Foot injury), Ameen Al-Dakhil (Knock), El Bilal Touré (minor knock), Luca Raimund (Torn muscle bundle) and Anrie Chase (Torn muscle fiber in the adductor area) won’t be available for Stuttgart gaffer Sebastian Hoeneß.

We think that Stuttgart may well line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and select Alexander Nuebel, Pascal Stenzel, Finn Jeltsch, Jeff Chabot, M. Mittelstaedt, Atakan Karazor, Angelo Stiller, Jamie Leweling, Nick Woltemade, Chris Fuehrich and Deniz Undav.

📋 Team News: Augsburg

Augsburg boss Jess Thorup has to currently contend with reduced team options. Yusuf Kabadayi (Knee surgery), Reece Oxford (Fitness) and Mergim Berisha (Thigh problems) are not able to play.

We reckon that Augsburg seem most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 lineup by sending out Finn Dahmen, Chrislain Matsima, Jeffrey Gouweleeuw, Cedric Zesiger, Robert Gumny, Frank Onyeka, Kristijan Jakic, Dimitrios Giannoulis, Mert Komur, Alexis Claude and Samuel Essende.

🧠 Prediction

For this match, we think that Stuttgart have it within them to have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

At the same time, Augsburg may well struggle to score themselves but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be scoring.

We can therefore see a 3-1 win for Stuttgart when all’s said and done.
