Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Friday’s football game between Stuttgart and Union Berlin will raise the curtain on the Bundesliga round 25. Die Schwaben are determined to book their spot in the Champions League and their performance in a 3-2 win over Wolfsburg is certainly giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Union Berlin.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be key attacker Serhou Guirassy, who scored a brace in the last league match, while all Roberto Massimo, Samuele di Benedetto, Dan-Axel Zagadou, and Nikolas Nartey continue to miss out with injuries. The capital club, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Stuttgart’s party at MHPArena. There are no fresh injury worries in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Baden-Württemberg.
Highlighted Player (Waldemar Anton):
The Uzbekistan-born central defender plays at the heart of Hannover’s defense. His idol was Roy Maakay, so he started his career as a striker, but he soon turned to defense. Anton Waldemar was a mere teenager when he made his first appearance for Die Roten in February 2016 against VfB Stuttgart.
Waldemar only had to wait for two months to net his first goal against Borussia Monchengladbach. The following season he commanded Hannover’s defense in Bundesliga 2, making 31 appearances, helping his team to return to the top flight immediately after the relegation.
Even though he was born in Olmaliq, Uzbekistan, Waldemar decided to pledge allegiance to Germany, debuting for the U21 squad in September 2016, making 7 appearances so far. The press in Germany compare him to Javi Martinez from Bayern Munich, because Anton Waldemar can play in the heart of defense, as well as a defensive midfielder and a right-back.
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.
