Stuttgart vs Augsburg Prediction & Betting tips
In the Bundesliga it comes on the 13th Gameday to Schwachenuell: On Saturday afternoon, the VfB Stuttgart receives the FC Augsburg. The focus of the match is also VfB coach Weinzierl, who meets his former club. Weinzierl coached the FCA from 2012 to 2016 and led the club even in the Europa League. In two games as coach of Schalke the coach remained unbeaten against his former club. Both clubs have their problems this season. Stuttgart are in eighth place with eight points and have the weakest offensive in the league with just eight goals.
With three consecutive games without success, FC Augsburg slipped to 13th place, the weakest season so far. Now it is for the Fugger city but against a favorite opponent. In the Bundesliga there were twelve Swabian duels. Seven of these games could win Augsburg. Thus, the FCA could celebrate in his Bundesliga history only against HSV and Bremen more victories than against VfB. In eight of the 12 games, the Bavarian Swabians scored the 1: 0. In the last three appearances in Stuttgart, the FCA was even without a clean sheet. The balance in the Mercedes Benz Arena stands at two home wins, a draw and three away victories.
VfB Stuttgart:
Since October 10, VfB Stuttgart has been coached by Markus Weinzierl. Under the new coach, there were four defeats for VfB in five league games and only one win, away 2-0 in Nuremberg. In front of their own fans there have been two games under Weinzierl: a 0: 4 against Dortmund and a 0: 3 against Frankfurt. On the final day of the match, VfB kept up their efforts in Leverkusen, but ended up with a 2-0 defeat by Volland in the 76th and 83rd minute. By a carelessness in a standard situation Stuttgart got on the loser road.
Especially in the offensive, the chestnut carriers were once again quite safe. The Swabians had stood very low and hardly risked the offensive. Symbolic for this is Mario Gomez. The former international is Stuttgart’s top scorer with three goals, but is without goals for five league games or 456 minutes. With the existing squad Weinzierl can not play his favorite tempo football, coupled with aggression and high running performance. After all, the team is slowly making progress on values such as tackle and mileage. Physically and mentally you can not turn off dropouts yet. The coach lets his team play in 4-1-4-1, which can turn into a 4-3-3, depending on the situation. The VfB are currently missing players like Didavi, Kliment, Meyer, Özcan and Sosa. The stakes of Maffeo and Gonzalez are still questionable. After all, Anastasios Donis and Timo Baumgartl should return to the squad.
Augsburg:
After only one win from the last six games, the advantage of the FCA on the bottom of the table is only five points. As the FCA professional Julian Schieber stated, the situation is currently very dangerous. The Fugger City have to fight this season mainly with two problems: With a bad chance utilization and large gaps in the defense. Only in one game remained the Augsburg in this season without a clean sheet. Coach Baum now wants to put the focus a little more on the defensive.
Also in the 1: 3 against Eintracht Frankfurt on the last matchday the team of coach Baum had some good chances and got the triple storm of the Hessians from Rebic, Jovic and Haller never really under control. It was the goal-shot ratio with 25 to 15 clear for the hosts. In the first minute, however, the Augsburg came in arrears. The 0: 2 shortly after the start of the second round was then an effect hit, from which the tree-elf did not recover. Slider now demands a little more aggressiveness. Play something too nice. Against such a poisonous opponent as Eintracht one would have to intervene more. Manuel Baum lets the FCA play almost exclusively in 4-1-4-1, which was established in Augsburg under coach Weinzierl. Depending on the opponent, the FCA but changes between three and four chain. Whether Finnbogason can play, decides quite quickly. Definitely will be Felix Götze and Jan Moravek
