VfB Stuttgart – FC Augsburg

Stuttgart host Augsburg in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the home side languishing in 14th place on just three points after one win and two defeats, having scored six and conceded eight. Augsburg sit comfortably in third, boasting seven points from two victories and a draw while enjoying a healthy +6 goal difference, having netted nine and let in only three. The Bavarian visitors will look to extend their unbeaten run and climb higher up the table, whereas Stuttgart will be desperate to snap their early-season slump and pick up their first three points at home. Historically the two clubs have met regularly, but Stuttgart’s recent slide makes this a crucial test to revive their campaign.
