Team Form and Analysis for VfB Stuttgart
Domestic Form and European Performance
VfB Stuttgart are enjoying a fantastic season, currently occupying 4th position in the Bundesliga table with 18 points from 9 matches. Their league record stands at six wins and three defeats.
Die Schwaben (The Swabians) saw their impressive five-match Bundesliga winning streak end with a 3-1 away loss to RB Leipzig last weekend. However, manager Sebastian Hoeneß’s side immediately bounced back, securing a crucial 2-0 home victory against Feyenoord in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, strengthening their position in the competition. Stuttgart’s form at the MHP Arena is virtually flawless, boasting a perfect record of six wins from six home league matches this season. Critically, their defence at home has been impregnable, conceding the fewest home league goals (one) across Europe’s top five leagues. Their offensive output has been equally impressive, having scored in 16 consecutive domestic matches stretching back to last season.
Key Player: Deniz Undav
Striker Deniz Undav has been the focal point of the VfB Stuttgart attack and is the team’s leading goal contributor. The forward has been highly influential, showcasing both clinical finishing and vital link-up play. Undav scored the crucial second goal in the midweek European victory and his consistent positioning and ability to find space in the box will be essential against an Augsburg defence that is struggling with lapses in concentration. His form will be key to Stuttgart breaking down the visitors’ resistance.
Team Form and Analysis for Augsburg
Domestic Form and Bundesliga Struggles
Augsburg are struggling significantly in the Bundesliga, currently sitting in 14th position in the table with 7 points from 9 matches. Their record stands at two wins, one draw, and six defeats.
Die Fuggerstädter (The Fugger City residents) enter this match under immense pressure, having suffered three consecutive defeats in all competitions, including a narrow 1-0 home loss to Borussia Dortmund last time out. Manager Sandro Wagner’s side has been plagued by a failure to score, having failed to find the net in each of their last seven defeats across all competitions. Defensively, they have been vulnerable, failing to keep a clean sheet in ten straight matches. Their struggles are particularly pronounced away from home, where they have lost two and drawn one of their last three after starting the campaign with back-to-back road wins. The pressure is mounting on the team to improve their defensive organization and find a way to end their scoring drought.
Key Player: Fabian Rieder
Attacking midfielder Fabian Rieder is one of the few bright sparks in the struggling Augsburg attack. The Swiss international is the team’s joint-top scorer with two goals and is a key creative force. Rieder possesses excellent technical ability and vision, capable of unlocking defences with a precise pass or a long-range shot. Given Augsburg’s scoring difficulties, Rieder’s ability to create chances from the final third will be absolutely vital for giving the visitors any hope of challenging Stuttgart’s formidable home defence.
Head-to-Head Record between the Teams
The head-to-head record in recent history is overwhelmingly in favour of the home side, giving Augsburg a significant psychological hurdle to overcome.

The overall Bundesliga history between the two sides favours VfB Stuttgart, who have won 15 of the 28 top-flight meetings. Crucially, Augsburg are winless in their last eight meetings with Stuttgart across all competitions (D1, L7). Even more damning for the visitors, Stuttgart have won the last five clashes without conceding a single goal to Augsburg. The most recent meeting was a dominant 4-0 victory for VfB Stuttgart at home in May 2025. This history clearly establishes Stuttgart as the dominant force in this regional rivalry.
Players to Watch
VfB Stuttgart
Bilal El Khannouss (Attacking Midfielder): The Moroccan playmaker has been highly influential since his arrival. He scored the opening goal in the midweek Europa League win and his creativity, dribbling ability, and vision will be crucial for breaking down the anticipated Augsburg low block.
Angelo Stiller (Central Midfielder): The key deep-lying playmaker, Stiller is critical to Stuttgart’s build-up. His tactical intelligence and precise passing ensure VfB controls the tempo and dictates the flow of the game from midfield.
Augsburg
Mert Kömür (Forward): The young forward has shown flashes of potential and is the team’s joint-top scorer with two goals. His pace and willingness to run in behind will be key to exploiting any spaces left by the advancing Stuttgart full-backs.
Chrislain Matsima (Defender): The young centre-back has emerged as a key defensive figure for Augsburg. His physical presence and ability to organize the defence will be vital in attempting to contain the relentless pressure from the Stuttgart attack.
Prediction
This match presents a classic clash of form and momentum. VfB Stuttgart’s flawless home record, combined with their strong head-to-head dominance over Augsburg, makes them overwhelming favourites. Augsburg’s ongoing defensive frailties and lack of goalscoring threat suggest they will struggle immensely to break their eight-game winless streak against their local rivals. While Stuttgart might experience some fatigue from their midweek European commitment, their superior quality, confidence, and formidable home defence should ensure they secure another comfortable victory at the MHP Arena. Expect Stuttgart to control the tempo and capitalize on Augsburg’s defensive errors.
Score Prediction: VfB Stuttgart 3-0 Augsburg
