The next good move from Stuttgart. Bouanani circles a free kick from 24 meters from the half-left towards the goalkeeper’s corner. The ball just barely whizzes over the crossbar.

18:41
Dangerous corner for the hosts. Stiller’s long cross finds Mittelstädt at the back. Its direct acceptance is currently being blocked.

6:25 p.m
Half-time conclusion:
Halftime in Stuttgart, the score is 2-2 between VfB and FC Augsburg. After a quiet opening few minutes, the guests struck coldly: Rieder scored after a mistake by Jeltsch in a duel with Kade (8th). But it didn’t take long until Schlotterbeck caused a penalty against Zagadou – Mittelstädt converted safely (18th). A short time later, Massengo took advantage of Karazor’s carelessness to take the lead again (26th). The Swabians needed something to get back on track. Then it was Undav who headed the score to 2-2 (39′). Overall, the Hoeneß team dominates the game, but they make too many mistakes at the back. The FCA, on the other hand, is holding up well and the draw is okay. See you soon!

On the other side, El Khannouss finishes. His soulful shot from 17 meters rushes just over the right crease.
45.
6:19 p.m
Again Nübel puts his front men in trouble with a risky low pass into the center. After quickly winning the ball, Massengo gets stuck from a distance.

6:16 p.m
Additional time: 6 minutes are added.

18:13
After the first five minutes we see a really entertaining game. Let’s see if something can happen for one of the teams before the break.

6:09 p.m
Tooor for VfB Stuttgart, 2:2 by Deniz Undav
A strange goal leads to another equalizer! Stiller saves the ball on the right just before the goal line and plays it briefly to El Khannouss. Undav nods his direct cross from seven central meters to the left corner. Dahmen has his hand on the ball and steers it out of the danger zone. But the leather had already passed the line.
36.
6:08 p.m
Furthermore, the FCA currently has the matter under control defensively. This looks significantly better than in the last few weeks.
33.
6:04 p.m
The second goal seems to have been scored by VfB. There is no immediate reaction for now.
30.
6:01 p.m
For the second time, the hosts are literally inviting their opponents to score goals. So far they have made too many mistakes defensively.
28.
5:58 p.m
There were briefly concerns about the goal. Karazor went down against Massengo and there was a possible foul. However, the VAR does not intervene. This puts the Wagner team back in the front.
26.
5:56 p.m
Tooor for FC Augsburg, 1:2 by Han-Noah Massengo
The renewed leadership for the FCA! Nübel plays a short pass to Karazor on the edge of the sixteen-yard box. Massengo immediately starts pressing and then shoots from 13 meters in the middle to the bottom left.
25.
5:56 p.m
…Stiller’s standard lands on Jeltsch’s head and from there over the goal.
24.
5:55 p.m
Dahmen parries strongly! Undav tests the goalkeeper again, this time with a low shot from 18 meters in the middle. But Dahmen is quickly down and wipes the attempt into the corner…
23.
17:54
Augsburger wins three corners in a row from the right. Following the third, Claude-Maurice flicks the marble far over the box.
20.
17:52
Undav almost adds the second hit. The attacker pushes Rexhbeçaj away in the box after a high cross from the right. Then Dahmen remains the winner with a great act against Undav. But his effort against Rexhbeçaj was rightly whistled off.
18.
5:48 p.m
Tooor for VfB Stuttgart, 1:1 by Maximilian Mittelstädt
The equalizer! Mittelstädt grabs the ball and, from his perspective, hits the bottom left. Dahmen was heading in the other direction.
17.
5:47 p.m
Yellow card for Keven Schlotterbeck (FC Augsburg)
The defender also sees the yellow box.
15.
5:47 p.m
VAR: There are penalties.
…shortly afterwards Osmers speaks over the microphones. Schlotterbeck has stopped. The referee points to the point.
15.
5:45 p.m
The VAR checks a possible penalty.…Referee Osmers is sent to the sidelines…
14.
5:44 p.m
Stiller brings a corner high in from the right. In the middle, Schlotterbeck and Zagadou sit down in a kind of wrestling match. First of all, we continue without a penalty…
11.
5:43 p.m
Of course, Jeltsch doesn’t look good in this scene. The ex-Nuremberger is too easily fooled by Kade. So FCA goes into the rest of the game with the unusual feeling of being in the lead.
8.
5:38 p.m
Tooor for FC Augsburg, 0-1 by Fabian Rieder
And almost out of nowhere the Bavarian Swabians take the lead! When a long ball goes to the top, Jeltsch has to be the last man in the duel with Kade. The Augsburg player asserts himself strongly physically, but fails under pressure from Nübel from an acute left angle. Claude-Maurice shoots the rebound from twelve meters from the left half onto the goal, this time Nübel makes an excellent save with one hand. Rieder then puts the second follow-up shot into the net from a central position.
6.
5:37 p.m
Otherwise we see a relatively quiet start. Both the hosts and the guests feel each other out to a certain extent.
3.
5:35 p.m
A first Stuttgart advance: Leweling runs forward on the half-left. With a short pass he serves Mittelstädt, who is running along on the left. He goes down in a duel with an Augsburg player – but correctly there is no penalty.

5:32 p.m
Let’s go.

5:31 p.m
Game start
5:16 p.m
Both teams have faced each other in competitive games 58 times so far – the statistics clearly speak in favor of the Swabians. They triumphed 32 times and also drew nine. The Fuggerstadt team won the respective showdown 17 times. There were three meetings last season. VfB celebrated both in the league (1:0 and 4:0) and in the DFB Cup (1:0). Augsburg’s last win was in the 2021/2022 season (4:1).
5:02 p.m
On the other hand, there is a lot of sadness. The Puppenstadters only achieved two wins and one draw in nine league duels. In the last eight games they only won once (3-1 against VfL Wolfsburg) and drew one (1-1 at 1. FC Köln) – otherwise there were a whopping six defeats. They recently had to accept three setbacks in a row: The heavy home defeat against RB Leipzig (0:6) was followed by the DFB Cup exit against second division team VfL Bochum (0:1) and the defeats against Borussia Dortmund (0:1). So today the FCA is under pressure to act.
4:45 p.m
Things have been going well for the Reds in the league recently. They won five of the last six games, and it was only last weekend that their triumph was stopped at RB Leipzig (1:3). Before this game, the 18 points collected so far are enough for sixth place, with a three points today the reigning cup winner could jump to third or fourth place (depending on the level). He gained self-confidence for this project during the week in the Europa League: At home he celebrated his second European win of the season against Feyenoord Rotterdam (2-0).
16:31
Hello and welcome to the penultimate encounter of the 10th matchday in the 2nd Bundesliga! In a duel between European ambition and fear of relegation, VfB Stuttgart welcomes FC Augsburg. Kick-off in the Ländle is at 5:30 p.m.
