Augsburg vs Stuttgart prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – January 12, 2025
One of the matches of the 16th round of the German Bundesliga will take place on Sunday at the "BBK Arena," where Augsburg will host Stuttgart. We suggest a bet on goals in this matchup with attractive odds.
Match Preview
Jess Thorup’s team ended last year with a crushing away defeat to Holstein Kiel, losing 1-5. This loss was part of a poor series for the club, which managed just one win in their last seven Bundesliga games (3 draws and 3 defeats).
As a result, Augsburg occupies 13th place in the table, holding a 6-point cushion above the relegation playoff zone. It is worth noting that the team has conceded 32 goals this Bundesliga season — only the bottom-ranked clubs have worse records. However, Augsburg performs significantly better at home, avoiding defeat in 4 of their last 5 home matches (3 wins and 1 draw).
As for their opponents, Stuttgart suffered a 0-1 defeat to St. Pauli in the last round, which ended their impressive unbeaten streak of four league games (3 wins and 1 draw). This loss negatively impacted Stuttgart’s position in the Bundesliga table, dropping them to 10th place, now trailing the European competition spots by just 2 points.
In seven away matches, Stuttgart has secured only two wins but also lost two. The team continues to display defensive inconsistency on the road, conceding goals in 6 of their last 7 away league games.
