Stuttgart vs. Augsburg: Match Prediction
The opponents met in mid-January in the Bundesliga, where Sebastian Hoeneß's team defeated Jess Thorup's side away with a score of 1-0. Stuttgart generally performs well against their upcoming opponent, having not lost in their last six head-to-head encounters in the league (5 wins, 1 draw). Moreover, at home, the hosts of the upcoming match have won against Augsburg in their last five matches in the main national tournament. I believe this series will continue.
Stuttgart looks solid at home, having won 5 of their last 8 official matches. One of the losses in this stretch was against PSG in the Champions League. In the German Cup, the team has a streak of three home wins, two of which were against Bundesliga teams.
Augsburg, on the other hand, shows weak results away, losing 9 of their last 14 league matches. In the national Cup, the results are better, but it is important to consider the level of opponents, who are from weaker divisions. Augsburg last defeated a Bundesliga team away in this tournament in 2015.
My prediction: Stuttgart to win
