Stuttgart-Union Berlin is a match valid for the 25th day of the Bundesliga and is played on Friday at 8:30pm: live TV, probable formations, predictions.
There is no end to the amazement of this Stuttgart side, which is now daydreaming. Started with the goal of staying in the top division without too many vicissitudes – last year they saved themselves by the skin of their teeth after the promotion-relegation playoff – the Swabians have been stationed in the top four for months and have already disproved those who claimed it was just a flash in the pan.
The team led by Sebastian Hoeness a week ago, thanks to the 3-2 success at home to Wolfsburg, reached 50 points and consolidated that third place that means Champions League. Detached, at the moment, are both Borussia Dortmund, at -6, and Leipzig: seven points the Roten Bullen have to make up on the big surprise of this Bundesliga. Since the end of January Guirassy and his teammates are unbeaten: in the last six days they have won five times and the only draw was with Cologne. Stuttgart is particularly shining in non-possession of the ball: the haul, so far, is 55 goals, only the top two, Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, have done better.
Stuttgart continues to fly
The former Brighton Undav, in addition to the Guinean gunner, is also on the top of the list: together they make a fantastic pair, which has already scored a total of 34 goals in the league.
Stuttgart will try to extend its positive streak in the advance of the 25th day against Union Berlin, a team that compared to last season’s exploits has returned to the ranks. The Capitols – who in a sense were today’s Stuttgart – are not in danger of being sucked into the fight for salvation, but they are only 14th and aim to get to the quota of tranquility as soon as possible. In the last round, after four positive results, they surrendered to Borussia Dortmund (0-2).
The Prediction
Only two away wins in the league for Union Berlin, who while making things difficult for Stuttgart, are unlikely to return home with points in their pockets. Hosts favored.
