Team News

Stuttgart
Augsburg
  • Nikolas Nartey has undergone knee surgery and will likely return next year.
  • Hiroki Ito will also miss the rest of 2023 due to a thigh injury, while Lilian Egloff has a knee problem.
  • Raphael Framberger is ruled out for several months after suffering an ACL injury. Reece Oxford has long COVID, while Arne Maier suffered an ankle injury in training and will be out for several weeks.
  • Iago is struggling with a muscle injury, while Dion Beljo also picked up a knock in training.

Prediction

  • Fourth-placed Stuttgart have enjoyed an impressive campaign so far, in stark to their struggles of the past few seasons.
  • New FCA coach Jess Thorup enjoyed a club record six-game unbeaten start to his tenure, and the early signs remain good with a resolute draw against Dortmund at the weekend.
  • Augsburg have failed to keep a clean sheet all season, but while often struggling towards the bottom, FCA have never been relegated.
  • Augsburg have gained 12 points from a losing position, and a draw could be an option here at good odds.
