Augsburg are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with VfB Stuttgart but odds don't favour them to pull it off.

1.4 Augsburg go into their next Bundesliga match, scoring a humble average of 1.4 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 14 times, while conceding 20. That amounts to an average of two per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring two times.

VfB Stuttgart are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 13 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.3 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 18 goals, and while VfB Stuttgart claimed one clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.8 goals per match.

VfB Stuttgart only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew one and lost four as well as being outscored by 12 goals to seven.

It seems both VfB Stuttgart and Augsburg have some issues concerning their defence, as they seem to find themselves on the receiving end a bit too often lately. We believe the trend continues this coming Friday, and we are rooting for goals.

VfB Stuttgart claimed four wins from 15 goals scored and ten conceded from their past seven matches against teams placed in the bottom six. This handed them 14 points to their account.
