Erzgebirge Aue (home)
- Jens Härtel has been at the helm of the hosts since January 2025, and has instilled a structure-first mentality at the Aue home.
- The home team regularly play with a back three or back five, and look to keep things simple, slow and structured at the back, then look to release their only proven clinical attacker Julian Guttau on the counter-attack.
- Guttau has four goals in 11 3.Liga matches, and has scored three of Aue’s last seven. For those considering the FC Erzgebirge Aue vs VfB Stuttgart II prediction, his form could be crucial.
VfB Stuttgart II (away)
- The visitors, under head coach Nico Willig (appointed July 2025), have a possession-based system focused on player development, quick transitions, high pressing and youthful energy.
- Stuttgart II will play with a fluid 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1, with Mansour Ouro-Tagba as the main attacking outlet (four goals in nine 3.Liga appearances).
- Stuttgart II’s road form has seen them leak 13 goals in seven games, at an average of 1.86 goals per game.
Head-to-Head
- The hosts have won the last two H2H in 3.Liga, including a 2-1 victory at home seven months ago.
- This Sunday’s contest has all the makings of another tight, tough game for Stuttgart II to get through.
