Augsburg is currently in ninth place in the German championship table. The team has lost three matches in a row and is in a very poor emotional and functional state. Furthermore, they continue to experience huge problems in terms of defensive reliability. Additionally, their chances of qualifying for European competitions are diminishing. The players on the home field certainly aim to break the streak of misfortune. However, recent results indicate a lack of stability and confidence in their abilities. Under Jess Thorup’s guidance, the team has recently faced significant defensive issues. This was evident in the previous round when they suffered a crushing defeat to Borussia Dortmund (1-5) away. Therefore, even at home, they are unlikely to feel confident.
Stuttgart is currently in third place in the German championship table. A victory in the upcoming match will secure the footballers the bronze medals. Therefore, they will certainly take to the field with maximum motivation, aiming to exert maximum effort to achieve their goal. It is worth noting that they have won three out of their last five matches, indicating that the players are in excellent emotional and functional condition. The home field advantage may only be an additional factor in their ultimate success. Under Sebastian Hoene?’s guidance, in the previous round, the team achieved a crucial victory. They proved stronger than Bayern Munich (3-1) at home. Therefore, the players are certainly counting on repeating this success. They will attack the opponent’s possessions from the first minutes.
