Stuttgart are playing confidently in the Bundesliga, sitting a lofty fourth place. They are particularly strong at home, where they have secured several convincing victories, including a recent Europa League triumph.
Augsburg are in the relegation zone and have been underperforming. They have serious attacking issues, failing to score in recent matches, and have a vulnerable defense.
Given the difference in class and Stuttgart's excellent home form, the hosts are the clear favorites.
