Match Overview
VfB Stuttgart will host FC Augsburg at the MHP Arena on May 12, 2025, in what is shaping up to be a tense mid-table Bundesliga clash. Stuttgart sits just ahead of Augsburg in the standings with 42 points to Augsburg’s 43, though Stuttgart has a superior goal-scoring record. The home side has won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings, making them psychologically dominant heading into the tie. Both teams, however, are coming off inconsistent runs and battling injuries to key players.
Team Key Players
For Stuttgart, Deniz Undav and Chris Führich are pivotal to their attack, often generating creativity and scoring opportunities from midfield. Goalkeeper Alexander Nübel has also been key in keeping the team competitive with timely saves.
Augsburg, on the other hand, will rely heavily on Frank Onyeka in midfield to control tempo, and S. Essende up front to capitalize on limited chances. The absence of Berisha and Oxford, however, could hurt their depth and defensive shape.
Match Pick
Match Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Given both teams’ recent form and injury concerns, and considering the average combined goal value of 2.84, the match could be closer and tighter than expected. Augsburg’s 11 clean sheets this season and Stuttgart’s drop in attacking output recently hint at a low-scoring affair.
