Stuttgart - Augsburg betting tips and odds

Stuttgart should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Augsburg can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for Augsburg who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Stuttgart’s painful defeat in their previous away match could have been seen from a mile away. They were facing Borussia Dortmund as visitors, so betting predictions never gave them much of a shot. The home team took an early lead which culminated in a 5:0 loss for Stuttgart.

Most Bundesliga betting predictions expected Augsburg’s recent home game to be completely one-sided in their opponents’ favour. However, records show that they were leading at the 45-minute mark, spurred by the support of their home fans. Their opponents RB Leipzig equalised in the second half, but Augsburg performed far better than anyone saw coming.

Experts have pointed at Stuttgart’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 7 goals over the last 3 Bundesliga games.

The visitors’ main concern will be cutting down the concession rate. They conceded more than 5 times in their latest 3 matches, and bucking the trend will be a great step in the right direction.

The $ODDS odds on a home win are hard to trust with last season’s harsh defeat still fresh in our memories. The fact that Augsburg won that clash was a surprise in its own right – the goal difference was even less expected.

Rafał Gikiewicz, Robert Gumny, Reece Oxford, Tobias Strobl, Noah Joel Sarenren Bazee, Fredrik Jensen, Niklas Dorsch, André Hahn have all been forced to stay out of this match due to various injuries. That’s one more disadvantage that the visitors will have to deal with on top of being the less likely team to win.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
