Bundesliga in the ticker: Can Augsburg, who are strong at home, also beat Stuttgart?

To start, let’s take a look at the lineups. At Augsburg, coach Jess Thorup called four new players into the starting line-up compared to the last game before the winter break: Dahmen, Gouweleeuw, Gumny and Onyeka. Labrović, Schlotterbeck, Wolf and Tietz have to make way for them. Schlotterbeck is missing due to a thigh injury, but captain Gouweleeuw is back. Wolf has to pass in the short term. The change in the goalkeeper position was hinted at in the test match, but it still comes as a surprise. On the other hand, Stuttgart coach Sebastian Hoeness is also rotating, but only in one position. Karazor is fit and replaces Keitel in the starting lineup. Diehl, Touré and Zagadou are still out, but Undav has made it back into the squad after tearing a muscle fiber. Leweling and Al-Dakhil also got fit in time, although they were not enough for the starting eleven.
