VfB Stuttgart 3-2 FC Augsburg: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Bwin’s post-match review of VfB Stuttgart 3-2 FC Augsburg in the Bundesliga on Sunday, 09 November 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

VfB Stuttgart clinched a thrilling 3-2 victory over FC Augsburg at home, a result that was not entirely surprising given their recent form. The match saw Stuttgart extend their winning streak at home, having previously beaten FSV Mainz 05. Key moments included a crucial penalty by Maximilian Mittelstädt and two goals from Deniz Undav, showcasing Stuttgart’s offensive prowess. Despite Augsburg’s early lead and resilience, Stuttgart’s ability to capitalise on their chances ultimately secured the win.

FC Augsburg, on the other hand, continued their struggle, suffering their fourth consecutive game without a victory. Their recent losses to Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, coupled with a draw against FC Köln, indicate a challenging period. Augsburg took the lead twice in the match, but their inability to hold onto it reflects their current form. The result underscores the importance of defensive solidity, an area where Augsburg needs to improve to reverse their fortunes

VfB Stuttgart dominated possession with 62% compared to Augsburg’s 38%, reflecting their control over the game’s tempo. Despite this, both teams managed an equal number of corners, suggesting Stuttgart’s possession did not translate into as many clear-cut chances as expected. Augsburg, however, showed greater efficiency in dribbling, with a 64% success rate compared to Stuttgart’s 45%. The match was competitive, with both teams receiving multiple yellow cards, indicating a hard-fought contest.

The game’s turning point came early with Maximilian Mittelstädt’s penalty in the 18th minute, setting the tone for Stuttgart’s comeback. Augsburg responded with goals from Fabian Rieder and Han-Noah Massengo, but Deniz Undav’s brace, including a crucial goal in the 80th minute, proved decisive. The match was punctuated by several yellow cards, highlighting the intensity and physicality of the encounter. These key moments underscored Stuttgart’s resilience and Augsburg’s inability to maintain their lead.

VfB Stuttgart deployed a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Alexander Nübel in goal and a solid backline led by Lorenz Assignon and Dan-Axel Zagadou. The midfield was anchored by Atakan Karazor and Angelo Stiller, providing stability and creativity. Up front, Deniz Undav’s performance was pivotal, scoring twice and demonstrating the effectiveness of Stuttgart’s attacking setup. The lineup and formation allowed Stuttgart to control the game and ultimately secure the victory.

FC Augsburg opted for a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Finn Dahmen between the posts and a defensive trio of Noahkai Banks, Chrislain Matsima, and Keven Schlotterbeck. The midfield was industrious, with Han-Noah Massengo and Elvis Rexhbecaj playing key roles. Despite taking the lead twice, Augsburg’s defensive structure faltered, allowing Stuttgart to exploit gaps. The lineup showed promise but ultimately lacked the cohesion needed to hold onto their lead.

Deniz Undav was rightfully named Man of the Match for his outstanding performance, scoring two crucial goals that turned the game in Stuttgart’s favour. His ability to find the net at critical moments, including the 80th-minute winner, was decisive. Undav’s contribution was not just in scoring but also in his overall presence on the pitch, making him the standout player of the match.
