Stuttgart form and stats

Stuttgart have collected 18 points from their Bundesliga home games so far after 4-6-5. It's trouble wherever Stuttgart are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Stuttgart manager P. Matarazzo might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

The fans are hoping that Stuttgart will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-2 away loss in the Bundesliga game against RB Leipzig (placed 2nd). Preceding that match was a defeat to Wolfsburg (1-3).

Gregor Kobel had a busy but productive day in the RB Leipzig match. Despite making nine saves the loss could not be prevented.

The Stuttgart fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 25 goals in 15 league matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Stuttgart defense is not exactly impregnable. 23 goals conceded from 15 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Augsburg form and stats

There's been little loot from Augsburg's travels as they have only collected 14 points from 15 away games in the Bundesliga. Augsburg only have 4 wins to counter their 9 defeats and 2 draws. It's all red in the travel logs of Augsburg, having lost four matches in a row as the visiting team.

Augsburg might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Köln proved too strong as Augsburg slumped to a 2-3 defeat in front of their own fans at WWK Arena. A 0-2 defeat away at Eintracht Frankfurt before that.

The attacking power of Augsburg when travelling is not overwhelming with 12 goals scored from 15 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 0 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 22 goals have been conceded by Augsburg in these games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: Augsburg - Stuttgart 1-4. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: three wins for Stuttgart, one draw and six wins for Augsburg. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.
