Prediction: 2-1
Augsburg
After failing to spoil Bayern Munich’s party at Allianz Arena, Stuttgart will look to start a new winning run in the Bundesliga when they take on Augsburg on Wednesday evening. Die Schwaben’s main goal is to book their spot in the Champions League, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to turn the dream into reality. All Lilian Egloff, Hiroki Ito, and Nikolas Nartey are out of contention with injuries for the home side.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating Eintracht Frankfurt, losing to Werder Bremen, while sharing the spoils with Borussia Dortmund. Augsburg, though, are not regarded as good travellers and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing something from the midweek clash. Reece Oxford has been infected by COVID-19, while both Iago and Raphael Framberger miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Waldemar Anton):
The Uzbekistan-born central defender plays at the heart of Hannover’s defense. His idol was Roy Maakay, so he started his career as a striker, but he soon turned to defense. Anton Waldemar was a mere teenager when he made his first appearance for Die Roten in February 2016 against VfB Stuttgart.
Waldemar only had to wait for two months to net his first goal against Borussia Monchengladbach. The following season he commanded Hannover’s defense in Bundesliga 2, making 31 appearances, helping his team to return to the top flight immediately after the relegation.
Even though he was born in Olmaliq, Uzbekistan, Waldemar decided to pledge allegiance to Germany, debuting for the U21 squad in September 2016, making 7 appearances so far. The press in Germany compare him to Javi Martinez from Bayern Munich, because Anton Waldemar can play in the heart of defense, as well as a defensive midfielder and a right-back.
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.
