Augsburg
In Matchday 15, Jess Thorup's side suffered a 1-5 defeat to Holstein Kiel. The club has won just once in their last seven matches in this tournament (3 draws, 3 losses). They currently sit 13th in the league table, six points clear of the relegation playoff zone. Notably, Augsburg has conceded 32 goals in the 2024/25 Bundesliga season, with only the bottom three clubs faring worse.
- The team has not lost in 4 of their last 5 home matches in this tournament (3 wins, 1 draw).
- No more than three goals have been scored in Augsburg's last 5 home matches in the league.
- The club has not conceded more than one goal in 4 of their last 5 home Bundesliga matches.
Stuttgart
In the previous round, the team lost 0-1 to St. Pauli. This result ended Sebastian Hoeneß's side's unbeaten run of four matches in the league (3 wins, 1 draw). The loss also affected Stuttgart's position in the Bundesliga table, dropping them to 10th place, now two points away from the European competition spots.
- Exactly four goals have been scored in 6 of the club's last 7 away matches in the league.
- Opponents have scored at least twice in the first half in 5 of Stuttgart's last 7 away games in this tournament.
- The team has scored at least two goals in 5 of their last 6 Bundesliga matches.
Augsburg vs. Stuttgart: Match Prediction
Jess Thorup's side has looked strong in attack during home matches, scoring in 6 of their last 8 Bundesliga home games. However, the club's defense has been less reliable, conceding in 8 of their last 10 home matches in this tournament. Only modest sides like Bochum (1-0) and Hoffenheim, who have scored just four goals in away matches in the 2024/25 Bundesliga season (0-0), failed to breach Augsburg's defense.
Stuttgart also tends to make defensive errors in away games, conceding in 6 of their last 7 away matches in the league. Despite this, the team consistently finds the net, scoring in 13 of their last 15 away games in the Bundesliga. They only failed to score against top clubs like Bayern Munich (0-4) and Bayer Leverkusen (0-0).
I believe both teams are likely to score in the upcoming match. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
