4962
With just two more Bundesliga games left this season, Forebet has grouped together more of the latest data, trends and mathematics for this game between Augsburg and Stuttgart on Friday night.
It's been a sensational season for Stuttgart, who secured the top four and a return to the Champions League with a sensational win over Bayern Munich last weekend.
This now means the club are seven points clear of Borussia Dortmund in fifth with only six left to play for, meaning a mathematical guarantee of finishing in at least fourth.
Stuttgart are also ahead of RB Leipzig by three points in fourth, so one more win here could secure third place for them, depending on the result involving Leipzig.
In that game against Bayern, Leonidas Stergiou scored in the first half before finishes late on in the game from Jeong Woo-yeong and Silas.
This was also just a week on from drawing away to the champions Bayer Leverkusen, as they were brutally denied all three points after yet another late equaliser from the Bundesliga winners of this season.
Nevertheless, it’s still been Stuttgart’s best year since winninthe title back in 2006/07.
In fact, Stuttgart collected only 21 wins in that season and only 70 points. In this campaign, the club have 67 points with six more left to potentially collect, and the same amount of wins too.
Their goals conceded is two worse off with 39 this season, although by scoring 73 times, only Leipzig, Bayern and Leverkusen have scored more goals.
As for Augsburg, they themselves are in a good spot and having one of their best seasons in recent memory.
The club have fought relegation for the past two seasons, finishing just outside the bottom three in 15th back in 2021/22 before ending up in the relegation playoffs spot last campaign.
Currently, the Bavaria side are sitting ninth after a brutal 3-0 home defeat to Werder Bremen the other week.
This has also likely ended hopes of a finish in Europe, as they are behind Eintracht Frankfurt in sixth by six points with six left to potentially gain.
This now means they must win both their matches and also hope those above them lose.
Augsburg were also beaten 5-1 by Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park last weekend and also suffered a defeat to Frankfurt earlier in April. This now means a three-game losing run since edging past Union Berlin.
Forebet predicts a win for Stuttgart and for the game to see over 2.5 goals.
