The German Bundesliga action continues on Sunday afternoon when Augsburg play host to Stuttgart at the WWK Arena where the hosts will be keen to put an end to their recent dismal four-match winless run in the domestic top flight.
Indeed, Augsburg have managed to win just one of their opening nine games of this new Bundesliga season, which came in the form of a narrow 1-0 home win over Borussia M’gladbach but the hosts have found league wins hard to come by so far this term.
The bigger picture shows that Augsburg have picked up just two wins out of their last 16 matches overall in the Bundesliga and this suggests that a home win in this upcoming clash against Stuttgart on Sunday is fairly unlikely.
However, despite mixed results on home soil, Augsburg cannot be ruled out from picking up at least a point here as the hosts have lost just three of their last 10 games at their WWK Arena and they drew 1-1 with Arminia Bielefeld last time out on home turf.
Stuttgart bring a solid looking four-match unbeaten run in the Bundesliga into this Sunday’s encounter on the road at Augsburg which consists of three draws and a win but these results haven’t been enough to prevent the visitors from slipping down to 13th place in the table.
Draws with Bochum, Borussia M’gladbach and Union Berlin have been further boosted by a 3-1 victory over Hoffenheim but that win was registered on home soil at their Mercedes-Benz-Arena.
League wins have also largely eluded Stuttgart as well in recent times as the visitors have collected just one win from their last eight matches overall but the draw has featured prominently as Stuttgart have been involved in four stalemates within this eight-match period.
Stuttgart have also struggled on the road as well with the visitors winning just one of their last nine matches on their travels but again the draw has featured in recent weeks as Stuttgart have drawn their last three away games on the bounce.
With just two away wins from their last 13 matches on their travels, this suggests that Stuttgart may also struggle to find a way to capture all three points in Sunday’s clash with Augsburg, so a draw may be on the cards in this one.
