Augsburg - Stuttgart predictions

Augsburg are no strangers to surprises but with 3.84 on home win here, such a result would be more of a miracle rather than surprise.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Stuttgart have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

When it comes to Augsburg’s previous Bundesliga clash, things went the wrong way from the off. They were never the favourites to claim an away win (3.59) but it’s fair to say their fans did not expect to see them lose Borussia Dortmund. They fell behind in the first half and the game was already settled.

Stuttgart snagged a stunning 3:1 victory against Bayern München in the last round. The match-up was quite tough for Stuttgart despite the home-field advantage, so the victory is not something most betting predictions saw coming.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 Bundesliga matches, Stuttgart boast some of the most prolific strikers of the league. Top online bookies are predicting another action-packed game.

The away team are seen as favourites despite their role as the visitors, and that makes a lot of sense considering the previous clash with Augsburg they had. Stuttgart pulled far ahead of their opponents and secured a decisive victory.

Both teams’ respective rosters have been heavily affected by a string of injuries. We won’t be seeing Fredrik Jensen, Iago, Robert Gumny, Reece Oxford, Raphael Framberger, Elvis Rexhbecaj, Finn Gilbert Dahmen on the home side and Lilian Egloff, Roberto Massimo, Dan-Axel Zagadou, Josha Vagnoman, Nikolas Nartey, Samuele Di Benedetto on the visitors’. All said and done, though, the latter are still favourites.

If you want to get some value out of this match, you’ll need to be willing to take a risk. The best betting offers are found in the HT/FT market, specifically for a Draw/Away bet.
