Prediction
Augsburg have found their form in the last few weeks and their system
looks quite solid. They only lost by one goal in Munich last weekend,
which should give them confidence ahead of this game.
Stuttgart have improved massively in the last few weeks as well. They
are on the right track to qualify for Europe again and their attacking
potential is huge at the moment.
Expect Augsburg to defend deep. They will try to hit Stuttgart on the break.
Augsburg 1 - 1 VfB Stuttgart
