This campaign has been strenuous for FC Union Berlin up to now, while VfB Stuttgart have taken lots of points. Will the travellers get the points at Olympiastadion Berlin?
- FC Union Berlin have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their matches.
- VfB Stuttgart have the most scored goals in the second half (14) in Bundesliga
Both teams have had time to rest since their previous effort on the pitch. Let's agree to expect an in-your-face match!
FC Union Berlin form and stats
Three Bundesliga home games done for FC Union Berlin, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.
FC Union Berlin are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-4 away versus Borussia Dortmund. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Gosens was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.4 out of 10. The defender Gosens scored one goal, hit two key passes and won 4 of 7 duels.
Preceding that result, a home defeat in the Champions League against Sporting Braga. This is expected to be a close game, with FC Union Berlin perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with FC Union Berlin as a small favourite), we find 6 games. FC Union Berlin has won 5 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Berlin, as the Champions League home game vs Napoli is only three days away.
FC Union Berlin has scored 4 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches.
