„Auswärtsspiel“ and „Gastspiel“ can both refer to the same game played by a team at the opponent’s venue. „Auswärtsspiel“ is the neutral standard term for a sporting competition held away from the team’s own venue; „Gastspiel“ places more emphasis on the team’s temporary appearance as a guest. In sports, „Auswärtsspiel“ is usually the better fit, while „Gastspiel“ sounds more marked.
