VfB Stuttgart-Augsburg Statistical Preview

Team News
 VfB Stuttgart
Antonio Rüdiger will start at centre-back again, with Georg Niedermeier forced to settle for a place on the bench.
Martin Harnik and Timo Werner compete for a spot up front.
Manager Armin Veh could field an unchanged team from last time out.
 Augsburg
Dominik Kohr returns from suspension to replace Markus Feulner in central midfield.
Raul Bobadilla, Alexander Esswein and Caiuby compete for a starting spot on the right wing.
Up front, Tim Matavz could get a chance from the outset.
Prediction
Stuttgart foot the table and need to improve defensively. Their balance was very poor in the last few matches.
Augsburg have lost five of their six away games this season, but want to take their chance to change that record against Stuttgart.
Expect this to be a competitive game, with Augsburg being the more balance team.
