Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Sunday’s football game at WWK Arena pits together Augsburg and Stuttgart, the two mid-table sides. Augsburg aim to put an end to their three-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Stuttgart. The good news for the hosts is that Jeffrey Gouweleeuw has overcome his injury, while fellow defender Keven Schlotterbeck is a major doubt after limping off with injury in a 5-1 loss to Holstein Kiel before the winter break.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a shocking 1-0 loss to St. Pauli. As both Stuttgart and Augsburg will go for a win in Sunday’s encounter, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. All Luca Raimund, Deniz Undav, Jamie Leweling, and Dan-Axel Zagadou continue to miss out with injuries for the visiting team. Midfielder Atakan Karazor will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Player (Alexander Nubel):
Alexander Nubel is a German goalkeeper who plays for Schalke 04 as a goalkeeper. Nubel started his youth career at TSV Tudorf and he moved to SC Paderborn in the summer of 2005. The 193-cm-tall shoot-stopper, though, did not see any game action with Paderborn at senior level as he joined Schalke 04 in 2015.
After making 24 appearances for the reserve team, Alexander Nubel made his debut with the senior team on May 14, 2016. The German goalkeeper made 18 appearances for die knappen in the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season, keeping five clean sheets in the process. Alexander Nubel has 17 caps for the Germany U21 team as well, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team.
The talented shoot-stopper was born in Paderborn, Germany on September 30, 1996. His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with die Knappen until June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Augsburg):
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 capacity of the stadium is 30,660 and it has been the home of Augsburg since 2009. Augsburg won the Schwaben Cup 13 times and it has to be noted that they were promoted to the Bundesliga for the first time in 2011.
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.
Die Fuggerstadter’s main rivals are TSV 1860 Munich and there have always been fireworks when the two teams take on each other.
