Augsburg

“Fugger” still have a chance to finish in the European zone, but they face tough matches against “Stuttgart”, who aim to overtake “Bayern” and finish second, and a difficult away trip to Leverkusen next week, where “Bayer” will want to celebrate winning the title in their final home game of the season. Only one point separates the Bavarians in 8th place and a spot in the Conference League.

After expressing their desire to play in Europe, Augsburg’s results under Jess Thorup have worsened. They remarkably failed to beat “Cologne” at home and suffered four defeats in the last five matches. The team was crushed 1-5 by Dortmund’s reserves last weekend.

Stuttgart

Sebastian Hoeness has transformed Stuttgart into a top team, securing a spot in next season’s Champions League. Last weekend, they defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 with a late surge.

Augsburg – Stuttgart: Expected Lineups

Augbsurg will be without injured goalkeeper Finn Damen, while Stuttgart will miss several players including Dan-Axel Zagadou and Josha Vagnoman.
