Konstantinos Mavropanos, defender, was given a rating of 8.62/10 in that game, top of the team. Mavropanos scored one goal and won 5 of 6 duels.
Preceding that game was the away draw at VfL Bochum 1848 that finished 0-0.This is expected to be a close game, with VfB Stuttgart perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Stuttgart as a small favourite), we find five games. VfB Stuttgart has won two of these, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Stuttgart, as the DFB Pokal home game vs FC Köln is only three days away.

FC Union Berlin form and stats
Things could have gone better for FC Union Berlin in their Bundesliga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
There might be some fixture complaints from Berlin as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Europa Conference League match against Feyenoord (1-3).
Before that, Berlin secured a home win against VfL Wolfsburg with the score 2-0.So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Berlin playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were one FC Union Berlin win, zero draws and two defeats.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Berlin manager U. Fischer as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Waldhof Mannheim.
The Berlin manager U. Fischer has got the team scoring on the road, with 6 away goals in 3 league matches. FC Union Berlin have conceded 7 goals in these games.
