Stuttgart vs Augsburg prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-05-10 17:30.
[p]The penultimate round of the 2024/25 Bundesliga season comes to a close in Stuttgart, who by the time of kick-off will know if a top-six finish is still mathematically within reach. Irrespective of those permutations, the Swabians can still achieve European qualification this term with the upcoming DFB-Pokal final against third-tier Arminia Bielefeld on the horizon, but before that huge occasion they can at least ensure they finish higher than upcoming opponents Augsburg with a win here. [/p]
[p]Sending their home fans off into the summer on a high note is desperately needed for Stuttgart, who unfortunately enter this clash on the back of an unwanted club record of six consecutive Bundesliga home defeats. All of those games saw Stuttgart concede in the final 15 minutes of regulation time, which ultimately contributed to their overall league-high of 15 conceded goals beyond the 75th minute this season. [/p]
[p]Making the trip west to Stuttgart are the side that have conceded the joint-lowest number of goals after the 75th minute (six), Augsburg, who sit just one point behind their rivals and are now simply hoping to finish in the top half for the first time since 2014/15. The H2H record doesn’t offer hope as far as that ambition is concerned, with Augsburg losing six of their last seven clashes against Stuttgart (D1, L6), including four straight defeats without scoring.[/p]
[p]Playing away otherwise shouldn’t faze the Bavarian outfit too much as, until their latest travelling defeat against recently usurped champions Leverkusen, they had put together an impressive eight-game unbeaten run on the road (W5, D3). That represented Augsburg’s finest away run without defeat in the Bundesliga since another eight-match sequence between 2013-2014, which included a 4-1 victory right here in Stuttgart! [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Nick Woltemade scored his 14th competitive goal of the season to win the day for Stuttgart last weekend, with that 88th-minute strike being the fourth of his last five to arrive beyond half-time. Alexis Claude-Maurice needs just one more goal to secure his first double-figure scoring league season since 2018/19 (G9), while each of the Augsburg forward’s last five strikes were recorded in away victories. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Stuttgart boss Sebastian Hoeneß has beaten Augsburg more often than any other side as a manager (W7, D1, L1). [/p]
