Union Berlin vs Stuttgart Prediction & Betting Tips (23 August)

The Union Berlin has just chained a 2nd delicate season after that already experienced in 2023-2024 during which it had to fight to keep its place in the elite. Last May, the capital's club had to be satisfied with 13th final place with an unsatisfactory balance sheet of 40 points gleaned in 34 days. Too weak offensive, iron men will undoubtedly want to find the 1st part of the table this year, a goal that they managed to reach the previous seasons much more easily. Now guided by Steffen Baumgart who arrived on the bench this summer, the Berliners had launched their preparation by 3 successes picked up against Brandebourg 1-9, Ahrensfelde 0-5 and Lask 0-2. But the rest was less conclusive with a draw conceded against Rapid 1-1 and losses wiped against Greuther Fürth 1-0, Schweinfurt 1-0, Espanyol 0-1 and Olympiakos 0-1. From the latest outings that did not prevent the Berlin Union from correcting the Gütersloh 0-5 amateur club in the Cup.

Sututtgart, for its part, should once again feed ambitions this season. 3rd in 2023-2024, this team took 9th place in the spring before winning the German Cup in good way in front of the Arminia Bielefeld 2-4. A success that will allow him to compete in the Europa League this year as well as the German Super Cup, the last event which saw him fall last week against Bayern Munich 1-2. Before this important deadline for the start of the season, the Souassi had won their friendly meetings against Fellbach 1-7, the Celta Vigo 2-1 and Toulouse 6-0 then concluded the summer preparation by a setback against Bologna 0-1.

The Berlin Union could not retain its top governed Benedict Hollerbach during the transfer window. Author of 9 goals last year, he took the direction of Mainz. In addition to that, the former Monegasque Volland (1860 Munich), the environment replacing Bénes (Kayserispor), the defender Vogt (Bochum) and the Gosens (Fiorentina) and Roussillon (free) side also left the capital. The Berliners, on the other hand, wished to strengthen themselves by attracting the left side Köhn (Galatasaray), the French defender Nsoki (Hoffenheim) and the attackers Burke (Werder) and Ansah (Paderborn). Already loaned last season, the offensive Ilic (Lille, 7 goals last year) and Woo-Yeong Jeong (Stuttgart, 3 goals, 2 assists) have been definitively engaged. The defender Leitis, the young winger Burcu and the French midfielder Tousart heads for a package for the resumption of the championship while the return of goalkeeper number 1 Rönnow is hoped after his leaving at half-time in the cup. Back to training, the lateral Juranovic and the defensive elements Nsoki and Ogbemudia are likely to be in the group. On the Stuttgart side, the Rieder (Rennes) and the striker El Bilal Touré (Atalanta) returned to their respective club after being loaned last season.

To this we add that the young porter Seimen (Paderborn, loan), defender Chase (Salzburg) and the winger Bruun Larsen (Burnley) also discovered a new project. In the opposite sense, the lateral Assignon (Rennes), the Portuguese striker Tomas (Wolfsburg), the winger Jovanovic (Red Star of Belgrade) and the young Andres (Real Madrid Castilla) and Darvich (Barça B) envied with the VFB during the transfer window while the Silas (Star Red Star) ready. The latter as well as the central defender Zagadou and the lateral Stergiou should however declare when Nübel is likely to find the goal. Squubes are not lacking in offensive assets with players like Demirovic (15 goals), Woltemade (12 goals) and Undav (9 goals, 3 assists) in particular. The excellent lateral Mittelstädt (1 goal, 7 assists) and the distributor Stiller (1 goal, 8 assists) should also stay at the club, which was not the case with the tricolor Millot (6 goals, 5 assists), transferred to the Saudi team of Al-Ahli. The probable compositions for Union Berlin - Stuttgart: Union Berlin: Rönnow - Doekhi, Querfeld, Rothe - Trimmel, Schäfer, Khedira, Haberer, Skov - Ansah, Ilic.Stuttgart: Nübel (or Bredlow) - Vagnoman, Jaquez, Chabot, Mittelstädt - Karazor - Leweling, Undav, Führich - Woltemade.
