Stuttgart will look to get back to winning ways in the Bundesliga when they take on Augsburg on Wednesday evening. The hosts are currently in fourth place in the league standings, while the visitors are tenth. After surviving the drop by the slenderest margins last season, Stuttgart have experienced a major turn of fortunes this term. They have managed 31 points from their first 15 league games and are firmly in contention for a Champions League qualification spot. The Reds come into this match after facing the top two in the league over the last couple of weeks. They managed to hold Bayer Leverkusen to a 1-1 draw at home but were no match for Bayern Munich as the defending champions ran out 3-0 winners over the weekend. Serhou Guirassy has been a revelation for Stuttgart this season. The forward has already netted 16 goals this season and is second in the top goal-scorer standings. The hosts are unbeaten in their last three matches at home and have only lost once on their home patch this season. As a result, the bookmakers make them the favourites in this one. 

Meanwhile, Augsburg have also been impressive this season, albeit not to the same extent as their opponents. The visitors have recorded 18 points in their 15 games and are six points behind the top six sides and nine clear of the relegation zone. Fuggerstadter secured a hard-fought point at home to Borussia Dortmund over the weekend, which followed a 2-0 loss to Werder Bremen a week earlier. They have now put up four wins, six draws and five losses this season. However, four of their losses have come from away matches, while they have only won one of their seven games on the road this term. Augsburg have failed to beat this opponent in their last three matches, losing twice and drawing the most recent 1-1 last season.
