Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Stuttgart and Augsburg go head to head at Mercedes-Benz Arena in what is expected to be an interesting Bundesliga game. Die Schwaben aim to escape the relegation zone, and it seems as if they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course. Fit-again striker Sasa Kalajdzic means a lot to this team, and we predict that the towering No. 9 will pose a big threat to the opposition back-line. The likes of Egloff, Mvumpa, Meyer, Nartey, and Sankoh should miss out with injuries.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, desperately needed a win against Arminia Bielefeld, and they managed to get one, with the team putting an end to their three-game winless run. Augsburg, though, have already suffered seven defeats on the road this season, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Stuttgart’s party at Mercedes-Benz Arena. The likes of Uduokhai, Finnbogason, Gumny, and Strobl are injured for the away side.

Augsburg are a German football club founded in Augsburg, Bavaria back in 1907. Die Fuggerstadter play in German Bundesliga and with 12,200 members they are regarded as the largest football club in Bavaria. Augsburg wear white shirts and they host their rivals at WWK ARENA.

The club qualified for the Europa League 2015/2016 group stages and thanks to a 3-1 win over Partizan in Belgrade they booked their place in the last 32. However, Liverpool proved to be a big catch for the German outfit in the Europa League knockout stages.
