Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Sunday’s football game between Stuttgart and Union Berlin will bring down the curtain on day 9 of the new Bundesliga campaign. Die Schwaben aim to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Wolfsburg, with the team still eyeing their first win of the process. Stuttgart are likely to fight tooth and nail against Union Berlin, but beating the league leaders is easier said than done. Both Wataru Endo and Borna Sosa should recover in time to face the capital club, while Josha Vagnoman remains in the treatment room.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, but given Stuttgart’s poor run of results in the national championship, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on Urs Fischer’s troops. Both Tim Maciejewski and Timo Baumgartl have been tested positive for COVID-19, while Julian Ryerson should recover in time to face die Schwaben.
Highlighted Player (Wataru Endo):
Wataru Endo is a Japanese footballer who plays for Urawa Red Diamonds as a defender. Endo is a product of Shonan Bellmare youth academy and he continued playing for the club at senior level. After scoring 21 goals in 153 appearances (league) for the club the 178-cm tall centre-back moved to Urawa Red Diamonds in 2016 and he has been playing for the J1 League club ever since.
Endo won the AFC Champions League with Urawa in 2017 as the Reds defeated Al-Hilal in the final of the competition. The Japanese defender played 90 minutes in the victory over the Saudi Arabian side and the winning of the AFC Champions League trophy is considered the biggest success of his career.
Wataru Endo made his debut for Japan on August 2, 2015 in a 2-1 loss to Korea DPR at the EAFF E-1 Football Championship. In 2016 he was the AFC U-23 Championship trophy with the Samurai Blue. The Urawa Red Diamonds footballer was born in Totsuka-ku, Yokohama (Japan) on February 9, 1993.
Highlighted Team (Union Berlin):
Union Berlin are a German football club originally founded back in 1906. Die Eisernen play home games at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei which can hold up to 22,012 spectators. Union Berlin’s home kit is red, with the team wearing white shirts and white shorts on the travels.
Union Berlin finished the 1923 domestic campaign as runners-up, with the team suffering a 3-0 loss to Hamburger SV in the title game. Speaking of the club’s biggest success in the German Cup, die Eisernen made it to the final of the competition in the 2000/2001 season. Schalke, though, proved to be a big catch for Union Berlin in the decider, with Jorg Bohme scoring a brace for die Knappen (2-0).
Union Berlin will face their local rivals Hertha in the 2019/2020 Bundesliga season as they secured promotion to the German top flight, but Hansa Rostock are considered the club’s main rivals.
