Stuttgart vs Union Berlin prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-12-05 19:30.
[p]Stuttgartâs great form of last season is nothing more than a distant memory at the moment after just one win in their last four Bundesliga games, and even that came against rock-bottom Bochum (W1, D2, L1). They equalized twice last weekend against Bremen to claim a 2-2 draw, with that point meaning theyâve collected ten points fewer at this stage than last season after twelve matchdays.[/p]
[p]That aforementioned Bundesliga run includes their only home defeat since October 2023 (W12, D5), so returning home should provide some comfort after collecting 11 of their 17 points on home soil this term. So should facing Union Berlin, as Stuttgart won all three competitive H2Hs âto nilâ last season, including a 2-0 win in this corresponding fixture which was also held on a Friday night![/p]
[p]Union come into this clash on a downer after a winless run of six competitive games (D2, L4), with last weekendâs 2-1 home defeat to Leverkusen consigning them to 11th place after 12 rounds (W4, D4, L4). Only the four wins in that run saw Union score first, and considering that seven of their 12 Bundesliga games saw just one or no team score, the importance of the first goal cannot be understated.[/p]
[p]Scoring at all likely wonât be easy for a Union side who have never scored fewer than the ten goals theyâve managed so far at this stage of a Bundesliga season. Any respite from those scoring woes is unlikely to come on the road either, with Union drawing a scoring blank in four of their last five Bundesliga trips.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Chris FĂŒhrich opened the scoring for Stuttgart with his first league goal of the campaign in their last Bundesliga win, but he closed the scoring in this corresponding fixture last season. With two goal involvements (G1, A1), Tom Rothe impressed during Unionâs only away league win this season – five of his seven senior career goals arrived before half-time.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Stuttgart have scored a league-high seven Bundesliga home goals after the 75th minute this season.  [/p]
