Stuttgart vs Union Berlin Predictions

The hosts are pushing for a Champions League spot and are in great form. Union Berlin are improving but they’re poor on their travels. I’m backing a home win with 2+ goals scored.

Head to Head

These sides have drawn six of their 12 previous meetings with three wins apiece.

Stuttgart won 1-0 at home when the sides last met in the DFB Pokal in October.

Stuttgart Form & Team News

Stuttgart sit third in the Bundesliga with 16 wins in 24 matches. After three losses between Rounds 15 and 18, they’ve taken 16 points from the last six fixtures.

A 5-2 thrashing of RB Leipzig preceded a 3-1 victory at Freiburg. After losing 3-2 vs Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal, they bounced back to beat Mainz 3-1 at home and then won 2-1 at Darmstadt.

A 1-1 home draw vs FC Koln with 2.30 xG preceded a 3-2 win at Wolfsburg. VfB Stuttgart only had three shots in the match.

Denis Undav is set to return to the starting XI in support of Serhou Guirassy. Chris Fuhrich could drop to the bench.

Key centre back Dan-Axel Zagadou is injured long-term. Roberto Massimo is absent in midfield.

Stuttgart Predicted Lineup

Nubel; Vagnoman, Rouault, Anton, Ito; Millot, Karazor, Stiller, Mittelstaedt; Undav, Guirassy.

Union Berlin Form & Team News

After finishing fourth in the Bundesliga last season, Union Berlin languish 14th in the table. Their first 20 matches brought just four wins but they’ve won two of their last four.

A 1-1 draw at Mainz preceded two 1-0 wins, at home to Wolfsburg and away at Hoffenheim. A 2-2 home draw against FC Heidenheim saw a 2-1 lead surrendered.

Their last match saw a 2-0 home loss to Dortmund. They had allowed just 1.02 xG in the first 89 minutes.

Coach Nenad Bjelica has a clean bill of health and no suspensions.

It could be an unchanged XI in this one.

Union Berlin Predicted Lineup

Ronnow; Doekhi, Vogt, Leite; Juranovic, Khedira, Tousart, Schafer, Roussillon; Volland, Hollerbach.

Verdict

VfB Stuttgart v Union Berlin

I'm backing the hosts to beat the -1 handicap, to score a few goals in this match and to continue their pushing for a Champions League spot.
