Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Stuttgart will be aiming to put an end to their inconsistent form in Bundesliga when they welcome Union Berlin to their MHPArena on Friday evening. Die Schwaben did well to beat Bochum 2-0 in their last home game, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Friday’s clash. Bear in mind, though, that important players Jamie Leweling and Deniz Undav remain in the recovery room, alongside Dan-Axel Zagadou, Luca Raimund, El Bilal Toure, and Ameen Al Dakhil.
The capital club, on the other hand, are on a six-game winless run in the national championship. Union Berlin, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form. Considering that the capital club have suffered four defeats in the previous four league outings, we predict that Stuttgart are going to emerge triumphant in the round 13 clash. All Diogo Leite, Andrej Ilic, and Yannic Stein are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Player (Alexander Nubel):
Alexander Nubel is a German goalkeeper who plays for Schalke 04 as a goalkeeper. Nubel started his youth career at TSV Tudorf and he moved to SC Paderborn in the summer of 2005. The 193-cm-tall shoot-stopper, though, did not see any game action with Paderborn at senior level as he joined Schalke 04 in 2015.
After making 24 appearances for the reserve team, Alexander Nubel made his debut with the senior team on May 14, 2016. The German goalkeeper made 18 appearances for die knappen in the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season, keeping five clean sheets in the process. Alexander Nubel has 17 caps for the Germany U21 team as well, but he has yet to earn a call-up for the senior team.
The talented shoot-stopper was born in Paderborn, Germany on September 30, 1996. His preferred foot is right and he has a contract with die Knappen until June 30, 2020.
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.
