Augsburg vs Stuttgart Predictions

Stuttgart have got the better of Augsburg recently and can continue to dominate this fixture when they visit the WWK Arena on Sunday. The visitors have beaten Augsburg in nine of the last 11 Bundesliga meetings between these sides.

Stuttgart beat Augsburg 3-2 in their last Bundesliga meeting in November and justified their price of 8/15 to win the game. They have scored the opening goal in 12 of the last 14 meetings with these opponents.

Augsburg’s fortunes have improved since Manuel Baum took charge. They averaged 0.83 points per game in the 12 matches before he was appointed, and have earned 1.50 points per game in the 14 games since.

Augsburg lost 2-0 to Borussia Dortmund last weekend in their last Bundesliga outing and could not break their losing run. The result was no surprise, with Dortmund priced at 2/5 to win the game.

Stuttgart are fourth in the league, six places and 19 points above Augsburg, with a record of 15 wins, five draws and six defeats from their 26 games this season. The hosts are tenth with nine wins, four draws and 13 losses.

Stuttgart have lost just one of their last ten Bundesliga games and have gone down in just one of their last ten meetings with Augsburg.

They have been in goalscoring form, netting three or more goals in ten of their 26 Bundesliga games this season. They have scored in 18 of their last 20 league matches, including a 4-0 win over Wolfsburg three weeks ago.

Augsburg have lost their last two Bundesliga matches.

With six of the last eight of Stuttgart’s Bundesliga games producing over 2.5 goals and three of the last four head-to-heads seeing them win by the odd goal, a 2-1 away win looks a decent correct-score bet.
