Stuttgart – Union Berlin Prediction and Preview

  • Stuttgart have been one of the Bundesliga’s surprise packages this season and are looking more and more certain to secure a shock spot in the Champions League places with each passing week. They beat Wolfsburg 3-2 last time out, extending their unbeaten run to six matches (W5, D1) while also lengthening the gap between them and fifth place to seven points.
  • The hosts boast the title of having the third-best home record coming into this gameweek (W9, D2, L1), while their 35 goals scored in such games is a tally only Bayern Munich (39) can better. Scintillating attacking displays here at MHPArena have been a key contributor to that, with fast starts also a standout trait, as in six of their 12 home games they have scored two or more goals before half-time. Such early potency has helped them build a dominant first-half record in front of their home fans so far this season (HT: W8, D2, L2).
  • Union Berlin most recently fell to a routine defeat against Borussia Dortmund (2-0), making it a 12th scoring blank of the league season (W7, D4, L13). That highlights how the away side’s attack has been a big issue this season with only two Bundesliga sides having netted fewer goals at the end of the last round (23), while they have also scored more than once in just six league matches all campaign.
  • Despite their attacking woes, Union do sit 14th and still hold an eight-point cushion to the relegation places. They also hit the road again fresh from their 1-0 away win at Hoffenheim – their first away league win since matchday two (D2, L8). With goals at a premium, not conceding has been key to them avoiding being sucked into a lower placing, and they also secured a shut-out in their visit to this venue last season (1-0) which made it four H2H games here undefeated (W1, D3).
  • Players to watch: Deniz Undav scored the third in Stuttgart’s last home league win (3-1) nearly four weeks ago and he also netted in the last H2H (3-0), with Stuttgart winning ten of the last 11 in which he has netted. Suspended last weekend, Robin Gosens will return having scored five of his six Bundesliga goals for Union away from home.
  • Hot stat: The last four competitive H2Hs saw only one team score, with Stuttgart winning both meetings across league and cup action in October.
