Stuttgart - Augsburg predictions and free betting tips [20/12/2023]

Today the Bundesliga matches will unfold, thrilling us with exciting moments and outcomes. I want to discuss with you the 16th round game between Stuttgart and Augsburg. The match will take place at the "MHP Arena" and will commence at 19:30 GMT. Let's examine the current form of the teams and try to make a decision on what bet to place to increase our balance. Let's go!

Stuttgart

Let's talk about the "Swabians". Stuttgart knows all about the fears of relegation, as in the 2021/22 season the team finished 15th, then beat Hamburg in a two-match playoff and survived the last round. But this struggle seems a distant memory, given their current form. The club has managed to win 10 out of 15 matches this season. They are currently 4th with 31 points. The team had an unbeaten run of 6 matches prior to their last meeting. In the German Cup, they scored 2 unanswered goals against Borussia D at home. In the previous round, they drew with Bayer, with each scoring 1 goal. However, their last outing was a defeat at Bayern, conceding 3 unanswered goals. Due to injuries, Nicolas Narti (knee), Hiroki Ito (muscles), Lilian Egloff (knee), and Roberto Massimo (muscles) are all ruled out.

Augsburg

Let me tell you about the "Fuggers". Augsburg spent all of last season trying to avoid relegation from the division and managed to avoid the relegation play-off. Today, the team stands a safe distance from the drop zone and is in 10th place in the league table with 18 points. Augsburg now seems capable. After a home win over Eintracht F (2:1), the team travelled to Werder. They couldn't score a single goal but conceded 2. In the last round, they drew 1-1 with Borussia D. Defensive duo Reece Oxford (illness) and Raphael Framberger (ACL tear) haven't featured at all this season and are expected to remain out of action for the foreseeable future. Irvin Cardona was also marked as ineligible to participate due to illness.

Head to Head

Over the last 5 matches between the clubs, Stuttgart have won three times. Augsburg were victorious once. In their most recent encounter, which took place on 21st April this year, the teams drew 1-1.

Prediction

So, let's place our bets. Stuttgart will definitely want to recover after their defeat to Bayern. And they have every chance to do so at home. It's unlikely that Augsburg will be able to oppose them. I'll bet on a win for the hosts.
