THE LOWDOWN
AUGSBURG’S SEASON STARTING TO FIZZLE OUT
Defensively, Augsburg have looked a shambles in recent weeks and their most recent 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Borussia Dortmund was the third consecutive fixture in which they have conceded at least three goals, losing on each occasion.
With just three points from the last 12 available to them, their hopes of securing a place in Europe next season are looking very slim with unbeaten champions-elect Bayer Leverkusen waiting for them on the final day.
SECOND-PLACE STILL A REALITY FOR STUTTGART
Stuttgart knew that if they were to put any serious pressure on second-placed Bayern Munich ahead of this penultimate round of Bundesliga fixtures, then they had to win when the two clubs locked horns last weekend. This is exactly what Sebastian Hoeness’ men did, triumphing 3-1 in front of an ecstatic home crowd.
The final ten minutes was when Stuttgart came alive against Thomas Tuchel’s side. With the score locked at 1-1, Jeong Woo-Yeong put the hosts ahead before Silas Katompa Mvumpa sealed victory deep into stoppage time.

QUESTIONABLE:
THE PREDICTION
As the pressure ramps up on Augsburg’s European football push, they have failed to step up to the plate, which is reflected in their recent results. Stuttgart meanwhile, found an extra gear against Bayern Munich and look very much up for the fight of taking the Rekordmeister’s runners-up spot in the Bundesliga. That deadly strikeforce of Undav and Guirassy should wind up far too strong for an Augsburg backline out of form and confidence, having shipped a whopping 11 goals across their last three games. Therefore, back Stuttgart to pick up the three points in this one.
TIP: STUTTGART TO WIN
