They have scored 17 goals in their last six games, with an aggregate of 17 and 6 against them. The team has been unbeaten in their previous 17 league matches at home, making them a formidable force in their upcoming match.

Augsburg will face Stuttgart in a Bundesliga 1 match after a loss against Stuttgart. Augsburg managed 23% possession and 9 attempts on goal in the previous match, while Stuttgart had 19 shots and 7 on target. Augsburg has scored 20 times in their last six matches, with an average of 3.33 goals per match. They have not won away from home in their last three league games.
