VfB Stuttgart vs FC Augsburg Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 20.12.2023

Stuttgart will be aiming to get back on track in the Bundesliga this weekend after failing to win in their previous two. This looks a more winnable match on paper against Augsburg on Wednesday after failing to beat the top two in their previous fixtures in the competition.

 

• Eintracht Frankfurt vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction: Bundesliga Match on 20.12.2023

Bundesliga Preview

A lot of confidence would have been taken from Stuttgart based on their performances in the Bundesliga in the first half of the 2023-24 season. The German side are already among the early pace setters for a Champions League finish this term, as they sit five points clear of Borussia Dortmund in the race for fourth spot in the standings. 

However, a return to form will be expected by Stuttgart on Wednesday after they were easily beaten by Bayern Munich in their latest match in the competition. Their record against sides in the bottom half of the table is a key trend to acknowledge, as Stuttgart have won six of their last seven. Only Bayern Munich and Bayer Leverkusen have recorded wins more frequently against side in the bottom half this season.

Augsburg will also be searching for a better performance this week after failing to win their last two matches in the competition. The German side have won just four of their opening 15 matches this season, and a return to winning ways is required to aid their chances of avoiding relegation in the top flight this term. 

However, it would be a concern how bad they have been defensively this term. They remain one of just two sides in the Bundesliga that are yet to keep a clean sheet in the competition. Meanwhile, they have gone 18 matches in the Bundesliga without keeping out the opposition, which is a club record. 

Stuttgart vs Augsburg Head to Head

Stuttgart has a fine record against Augsburg based on previous meetings, as they have won four of their six clashes since gaining promotion. Over that period, the hosts have suffered just one defeat. Stuttgart are also unbeaten in their last three against Augsburg.

Stuttgart vs Augsburg Prediction

Stuttgart have struggled in their last two matches against Bayern and Leverkusen, but this fixture presents an excellent opportunity to get back on track. We struggle to overlook their clear chance of bouncing back after impressing in recent clashes against Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
