Early-season strugglers Augsburg and Stuttgart will be in search of a rare three points when they go head to head with each other at the WWK Arena on Sunday.
The pair have managed just three wins between them in their opening nine fixtures of the 2021-22 Bundesliga campaign so far, and find themselves at the wrong end of the table as a result.
We say: Augsburg 1-1 Stuttgart
Confidence is likely to remain low in both camps heading into this one on Sunday, which could result in a tight and nervy affair being played out.
As a result, we see a low-scoring draw being a likely outcome between two sides who have struggled to secure all three points so far this season.

Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to follow up their incredible thrashing of Bayern Munich in midweek by defeating an in-form VfL Bochum side at Borussia-Park in the final fixture of the weekend's Bundesliga action.
The hosts recorded an historic 5-0 victory over the reigning champions in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday evening, whilst their visitors on Sunday also progressed from the second round in midweek, which followed up their back-to-back victories in the league over the last couple of weeks.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 2-1 VfL Bochum
Two in-form sides facing off should make for an intriguing encounter on Sunday, which could easily see them cancel each other out.
However, on their day, Monchengladbach should be able to see off Bochum and would be expected to, which we see them managing only narrowly here due to the confidence of their visitors.
