Augsburg take on Stuttgart in the 16th round of the Bundesliga at home on Sunday. They’re ranked in the 13th position of the league table with 16 points. If they continue playing the way they have so far this season, they’ll remain safe from relegation. It could, however, ruin their chances of making it to any European competition next term.
Injuries to Schlotterbeck, Pedersen and Okugawa may dent the home team’s chances in this game. But, the side are known to take challenges head-on and bring their best to the fore no matter what.
They like to play in an unconventional 3-1-4-2 formation, putting emphasis on passing the ball across short distances and bringing their wingers into the fray. The latter are primarily responsible for delivering crosses into the box.
Stuttgart, who are ranked in the 10th position of the league table with 23 points, know they have to close the gap between themselves and their opponents. They’re the better side on paper, but playing away from home is never easy.
They’ll have to battle out of their skins in order to overcome their opposition. Their most recent 0-1 defeat to St. Pauli will hurt Stuttgart, but they need to push past their mental barriers.
Stuttgart have been unbeaten in four of their latest five matches. This issue is mainly due to the excellent shape they hold, whether in defence or midfield. It allows them to pass their balls horizontally and bring it back to their central defenders to send a long ball into the box. So far, this tactic has worked wonders for the visitors, and they’ll aim to emulate it in this game.
Bet hereThree out of the last five encounters played between these two clubs have seen BTTS.
We expect both teams to score on Sunday, given how well they know each other’s deficiencies in defence.
Stuttgart won 11 out of the 23 games against Augsburg, while the home side won nine. The other three clashes were drawn. This just shows how closely matched these two teams are and why separating them is going to be an onerous task.
We anticipate a total of over 2 goals in this meet. Three out of their last five head-to-head encounters have seen that happen, pointing to the likelihood of it happening this weekend. Having scored six goals in their previous five matches, Augsburg appear as if they’re in a moderate run of form in attack.
Stuttgart, who have not lost to their opponents in their last five games, will be the aggressor and are most likely to contribute to the total over 2 goals philosophy.
The home side, however, are not expected to keep quiet. Three out of their last four matches have seen a total of over 2 goals, so we can expect the same again.
