Bundesliga – Stuttgart face Augsburg

Saturday at the Mercedes Benz Arena, as Stuttgart host Augsburg in the Bundesliga.

Saturday’s clash between Stuttgart and Augsburg, sees sixteenth take on fourteenth in the League.

This season’s Bundesliga campaign, has so far seen Stuttgart achieve 23 points

When Stuttgart last turned out in the Bundesliga, the result was a disappointing draw 1-1 against Union Berlin at the An der Alten Försterei Stadium. They will be hoping for a better result this time.

Also, suffering 10 losses in 17 games is a terrible run of form for any club, Pellegrino Matarazzo’s Stuttgart will know this and will be hopeful of turning it around. Their position is sixteenth in the League and they have 23 points, that is, 5W, 13L and 8D having won five matches, drawn eight games, and lost 13 meetings.

Playing at home, Stuttgart have won four fixtures, drawn three matches, and lost six games.

A win in this fixture would take Stuttgart’s points to 26 in the League.

It is likely that four key players will miss Saturday’s fixture, which is something of a concern for Pellegrino Matarazzo and his Stuttgart team.

Augsburg go into this meeting with 26 points secured

Augsburg will take a huge positive from their recent 0-1 win against Arminia Bielefeld at the Schüco Arena.

Also, with no win in 15 of their last 20 fixtures now for Augsburg, there is minimal fear for opposition teams that face them. With 26 points (6W, 11L and 8D), they are established in fourteenth position in the League having won six matches, drawn eight fixtures, and lost 11 matches.

Augsburg now travel, knowing that their current away form is woeful. So far this season they have won two games, drawn four meetings, and lost seven fixtures matches on the road.

Augsburg will have 29 points if they manage to secure a victory.

Augsburg’s squad will likely be depleted of five of their key players when they start on Saturday, due to injury or illness.

Stuttgart v Augsburg – Head-to-Heads.

Regarding their historical duels when these two sides meet, a draw is never usually the expected outcome. In the past 18 matches, Augsburg have won nine victories and Stuttgart seven victories.
