Unmissable Bundesliga Showdown: Augsburg vs. Stuttgart Promises Edge-of-Your-Seat Action!

Match Stats

After narrowly escaping relegation last season, Augsburg has shown significant improvement this year and seemed poised to secure a Europa League qualification spot earlier in the campaign.

However, their aspirations for a top-six finish have taken a hit with four defeats in their last five Bundesliga matches, including a heavy 5-1 loss to Borussia Dortmund last weekend. Despite Ruben Vargas pulling one back, Augsburg's hopes for a comeback were dashed as Dortmund sealed the victory convincingly.

Jess Thorup's side now sits ninth in the Bundesliga, six points behind the top six with only two games remaining. While a top-seven finish remains within reach, Augsburg faces an uphill battle, especially considering their recent struggles against Stuttgart.


In contrast, Stuttgart is enjoying a remarkable season, highlighted by a memorable 3-1 home victory over Bayern Munich last weekend. The win secured a top-four finish and Champions League football for the first time in over a decade.

Previously fighting relegation, Stuttgart is now aiming for a top-two finish, a feat they haven't achieved since their title-winning campaign in 2006-07. A win on Friday would see them leapfrog Bayern into second place and equal club records for most wins and points in a Bundesliga season.

Despite failing to win in their last two visits to Augsburg, Stuttgart is buoyed by their convincing victory in the reverse fixture earlier this season and will be confident heading into Friday's showdown.


Prediction: Augsburg 1-2 Stuttgart
