Stuttgart vs Augsburg Prediction
🔊 The upcoming clash between mid-table teams at the MHP Arena in Stuttgart might lack tournament intrigue, but it promises to be a real celebration for the local fans. This is the team's final home game of the current Bundesliga season. Augsburg will be visiting, undoubtedly aiming to dampen the hosts' spirits. Despite the absence of tournament stakes, the sporting principle remains intact. Let's delve into what predictions might be relevant for this match.
Head-to-Head
📊 In their last 24 head-to-head encounters, Stuttgart have claimed victory 13 times, while Augsburg have won 9, with 2 matches ending in a draw. This season, the teams have faced each other twice. The first match took place on January 12th during the 16th round of the championship, where Augsburg narrowly lost at home (0-1). The winning goal for the "Swabians" was scored by Deniz Undav. Three weeks later, in the quarter-finals of the DFB-Pokal, the teams met again-this time in Stuttgart-and once again the hosts triumphed thanks to a goal from Undav (1-0).
Interestingly, Augsburg have failed to score against Stuttgart in their last four meetings. Considering this, a bet that Augsburg won't score in the first half seems appealing. In their last three matches, they haven't found the net before halftime.

Stuttgart Team Overview
⚪ Sebastian Hoeneß's team secured a narrow victory in their last outing, edging past St. Pauli 1-0 in Hamburg. Forward Nick Woltemade missed a penalty in the 60th minute but redeemed himself by scoring the decisive goal in the 88th minute, securing three points for the Swabians.
🔗 Although this win didn't alter their league standing, it's a morale booster ahead of their final home game. Stuttgart currently sit 10th in the table.

It's also worth noting that Stuttgart have lost their last six home matches consecutively.

Latest news
Stuttgart
📌 Stuttgart will wrap up their Bundesliga season with an away game against RB Leipzig, but that's not the final chapter. Their most crucial match awaits on May 24th at the "Olympiastadion" in Berlin, where Stuttgart face Arminia Bielefeld in the DFB-Pokal final. There's a chance to clinch their first major trophy in 18 years! The club last celebrated a title during the 2006/2007 season with the Bundesliga, and they haven't won the DFB-Pokal since 1997. Moreover, a victory in the final secures a spot in the Europa League group stage.
❌ Unfortunately, Stuttgart are dealing with a significant injury list as the season draws to a close. Midfielder Luca Raimund is set to miss the match against Augsburg due to a hip injury. Defender Henri Chase has been sidelined for some time with a groin issue. Midfielder Enzo Millot (muscle injury) and forward El-Bilal Toure (leg injury) remain doubtful. Defender Dan-Axel Zagadou is also out for an extended period with a serious knee injury. Additionally, Leonidas Stergiou sustained an ankle injury during a recent training session; he will undergo surgery in the coming days, marking the end of his season.
Augsburg
📉 Augsburg's scoring record is notably low this season; they rank fifth from the bottom in terms of goals scored, netting just 34 goals in 32 matches.
❌ Augsburg are also dealing with several injury concerns. Ahead of their trip to Stuttgart, forward Mergim Berisha remains doubtful after missing the last two games due to persistent injuries. Young defender Noah Katterbach might also miss out because of a muscle injury. Additionally, defender Reece Oxford, midfielder Mahmut Küçükşahin, and forward Yusuf Kabadayi are already ruled out for the rest of the season.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Augsburg are among the league's lowest-scoring teams, and there's another crucial factor to consider: in their last six head-to-head encounters, these teams have never seen more than three goals scored. With neither side having much at stake in the standings and Stuttgart looking ahead to the German Cup final, this match is likely to be a cautious affair. Additionally, Stuttgart's poor home run can't be overlooked. All signs point towards betting on under 3.5 total goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In their first-round match, Augsburg managed just 3 corners at home, while Stuttgart earned 9. In the German Cup quarterfinals, the Swabians once again outperformed the Fuggers in this aspect, with the hosts taking four corners to the visitors' none. Based on this data, we suggest considering a bet on Stuttgart to win on corners with a -1 handicap.
Editorial Prediction
Considering current trends and the statistics from previous encounters between these teams, we wouldn't expect an exceptionally high-scoring game. On the contrary, we anticipate a cautious match, making the primary betting option one of the suggestions above, specifically under 3.5 goals. This outcome has occurred in six consecutive head-to-head meetings as well as in Augsburg's last ten away games.
