Union Berlin vs Stuttgart Predictions

• Union Berlin have lost just one of their last ten Bundesliga matches
• Stuttgart have won just one of their last 11 league games
• The visitors have conceded at least twice in nine of their last ten away Bundesliga outings

Union should see off struggling visitors

Union Berlin have enjoyed an excellent campaign in the Bundesliga but they have allowed Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich creep away in the title race and need a victory over Stuttgart.

The form of both teams suggests Union should come out on top and it has been the number of draws they have accumulated that has led to the team from the capital slipping five points behind Dortmund.

Their only defeat in their last ten matches was a 3-0 reverse at Bayern Munich and they have not been beaten at home in 13 months, so it takes a big effort from any visiting team to make an impression there and it is doubtful whether struggling Stuttgart can do so.

Union are undefeated in their last 18 home games and have also improved their defending lately, keeping three successive clean sheets on their own patch when that feat was achieved in just two of their previous 11 efforts.

You have to go back to December 2021 for the last time Stuttgart posted an away victory in the German top flight and they have claimed just two points from the last nine times they have been on their travels.

They had drawn 2-2 at Bayern Munich before embarking on that dismal run and that was the first in a run of nine out of ten games when Stuttgart conceded at least twice on the road.

Optimism is generated by the fact they have scored in eight of their last ten away matches, which suggests there will be a few goals, so our prediction is for Union Berlin to win with over 2.5 goals in the game with a 2-1 home win our preference in the correct-score market.
