Union Berlin vs. Stuttgart: Match Prediction
The Berliners remain one of the lowest-scoring teams in the tournament, but Union Berlin's progress in converting chances cannot be overlooked. Only the reigning champion has managed to halt Steffen Baumgart's side's scoring streak, which ended at four matches. At home, the club has scored in 13 of their last 17 Bundesliga games. However, during this stretch, they have only kept their opponents scoreless in four instances.
One of the reasons for Stuttgart's disappointing season is their defensive issues. Eleven clubs have conceded fewer goals than Sebastian Hoeneß's side, with Stuttgart managing just one clean sheet in their last 11 league matches. However, in terms of scoring, the team remains among the top, having found the net in 9 of these encounters.
My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
