Stuttgart will look to put pressure on the Bundesliga’s top two with a win over Union Berlin when the sides meet on Friday. This match will be played at the MHPArena in Stuttgart, with the hosts in third place with 50 points and the visitors in 14th place with 25 points. Stuttgart are four points behind second-placed Bayern Munich and may see a bit of spark in their recent form to challenge for a top-two spot. The hosts are unbeaten across their last six league matches, winning five and drawing one. This sequence saw them score 17 goals, a testimony to their strong season, where their tally of 55 goals is bettered only by the top two sides. It’s almost the case in home games, where Stuttgart have averaged almost three goals per game in the league this season. They have also won nine of their 12 matches at this venue and will look to make it another three points here.

Union find themselves eight points above the relegation zone, although only three points separate them from 11th-placed Heidenheim. Although they lost 2-0 to Dortmund in their last game, they have in fact been in a better frame of form in recent games. Union have won eight points from their last five matches, which included two wins by a 1-0 margin. This is in line with their poor scoring record, as Union has netted only 23 goals this season, which is the third-worst tally so far. While their overall form has improved, Union still remains far from comfortable on their travels. They have lost eight of their last 11 away league games, although they won their most recent trip.
