Likely Winner:

The STU vs AUG Today Match Prediction will not have a lot at stake for Stuttgart but the same can not be said about Augsburg. The away side are clear of the relegation zone but it is far from over. They will want to put some distance between them and the rest of the lower-ranked teams. This game is important to Stuttgart in only one respect – to stop their losing streak. If the home side are to be taken seriously in the Bundesliga next season, they will have to start winning more games. Avoiding losing streaks is the key to building a winning mentality.
