In that game, Augsburg managed 56% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Augsburg was Iago Borduchi (77'). 1. FC Köln had 12 shots on goal with 2 of them on target.

In their last 6 games, Heiko Herrlich's Augsburg have hit the target 5 times - an average number of goals scored per match of 0.83.

Going into this encounter, Augsburg haven’t won at home in the past 4 matches in the league. That's never good.

Stuttgart

WWDLWL

After a loss in their previous game against RB Leipzig in Bundesliga 1 action, Stuttgart and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.

In that game, Stuttgart had 43% possession and 10 shots at goal with 1 on target. RB Leipzig got 22 attempts at goal with 8 of them on target. Dani Olmo (67') was the scorer for RB Leipzig.

The stats don’t lie, and Stuttgart have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing their opponents hit 6 goals in all. Defensively, Stuttgart have seen their frailties exposed. Such a pattern isn’t assured to be sustained here, however.

💭 Prediction

Our assessment here is that Augsburg will need to put in a solid display to be putting a goal past this Stuttgart lineup who we think might end up scoring and staying ahead.

That’s why our selection here is for a very competitive encounter with a 0-1 winning margin for Stuttgart at the end of the 90 minutes.

It should be a good one.
