xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The visitors have exhibited their clinical edge in front of goal, out-performing their xGoals.

Schlotterbeck's header is short which allows Undav to intercept the ball before laying it off to Demirović, who has the easy job of placing it into an empty net with his first touch of the game.

Golden opportunity

It's Claude-Maurice again at the heart of it for Augsburg, but the Frenchman is unable to find his teammate with a square ball.

Claude-Maurice!

The Frenchman loves a shot from distance, and this one troubled Nübel. The ball bounces just before the Stuttgart stopper, but no one follows it up and he's able to gather it.

It's three!

That's two in as many minutes! Stuttgart again attack down the left and this time it's Mittelstädt who fires a low cross into the path of Nartey, who finishes first time to score VfB's third of the evening.

Enticing affair

Stuttgart are leading the way in shots (0-3) and corners (0-3), but Augsburg have also looked dangerous in the opening exchanges, attacking down their left - although they're yet to test Nübel between the sticks.

Dahmen tested

It's excellent play down Stuttgart's left which leads to Führich finding Nartey, who forces Dahmen into a save from close range.

7'

Promising

Claude-Maurice is the first place to forway into Stuttgart's penalty area, but his cross is over-hit and doesn't find anyone.

Early pressure

The resulting corner is played right under Dahmen's crossbar and again, the Augsburg goalkeeper is forced to tip the ball behind for another corner, which is eventually cleared.

3'

Cheeky

Undav advances into the penalty area and from the left, tries to chip Dahmen, who tips the ball over the crossbar for a corner.

The ball is rolling!

Augsburg get the final game of Matchday 27 under way.

Kick-off!

Kick-off approaching

A reminder that Augsburg are unbeaten in their last eight home games (five wins, three draws) while Stuttgart have lost just one of their last 13 league games. This is shaping up to be a cracking fixture.

Manuel Baum on facing Stuttgart

"Stuttgart still have a lot to play for in the league. They want to get back into the Champions League, but they also want to continue their journey in the DFB Cup. Looking at their squad, they also have one or two players who are competing for a place at the World Cup, so it's unlikely that the loss to Porto will cause a dip in form."

Stuttgart suffer European exit

It wasn't to be for Sebastian Hoeneß' men in the Europa League as they crashed out away to Porto losing 2-0 on the night (4-1 agg). The Swabians threw everything they had to try and overturn the first-leg deficit, but a goal from William Gomes against the run of play long preceeded a rocket from Victor Froholdt, before Nikolas Nartey's dismissal saw things go from bad to worse for VfB, who will now fully focus on their league campaign and the last four of the DFB Cup.

WWK-Arena fortress

Augsburg have avoided defeat in all seven home matches since Baum returned as head coach (W4, D3). In fact, they're unbeaten in their last eight home games (W5. D3), equalling the club record set in 2011/12.

History favours Stuttgart

Stuttgart have won their last six competitive meetings with Augsburg and are unbeaten in nine (W6, D3). Sebastian Hoeneß, meanwhile, has recorded more career wins against the Bavarians than any other team he's faced as a head coach of Hoffenheim and Stuttgart (W9, D1, L1).

Cross masters

Augsburg and Stuttgart have scored 10 goals from crosses after 26 matches, with only Borussia Dortmund faring better (11). Among players, Stuttgart's Jamie Leweling leads the way for crosses resulting in goals (four). Augsburg's Dimitris Giannoulis has three.

Watch: Stuttgart 1-0 Leipzig - highlights

Deniz Undav continued his rich vein of form with the only goal against top-four rivals RB Leipzig. Stuttgart moved three points clear of the Roten Bullen as a result - level on points with third-placed Hoffenheim.
