Swabian derby
Around 170 kilometres separate these two Bundesliga clubs on the map, but they’re even closer to each other in the table. Stuttgart, currently in 16th, can draw level on points with 14th-placed Augsburg with a win on Saturday, although Markus Weinzierl’s side do have a game in hand.
Goals aplenty
Recent meetings between VfB and FCA have always produced a lot of goals. There has been a total of 19 in the last four encounters, with two wins for VfB (4-1 and 2-1) and two for Augsburg (4-1 and 6-0).
Keep going until the end
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men have come from behind to get results on the last two matchdays, beating Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-2 and drawing 1-1 at Union Berlin.
Sosa and Sasa
Borna Sosa cross, Sasa Kalajdzic goal: the successful combination that produced five goals last season appears to be working again now. The Austrian has netted three goals from crosses from the left in the last four matches, scoring with his head against Frankfurt and then with his right foot against Gladbach and Union.
