Football Tips: VFB Stuttgart vs. Union Berlin

The second round of the German Bundesliga takes place this week and I have picked a rather boring clash between two Bundesliga sides for Tuesday. Of course, I will be keeping an eye on how the lower league teams fare, but that is difficult in the world of betting. Tomorrow, the formidable Stuttgart host the formidable Berlin and the result should be pretty clear, right? I think so, which is why I am backing the home side to win. I have been backing the Unioners for a long time and expected them to pull off the upturn, but in terms of sport, this is a very disappointing result. The defeat in Bremen, where we had some injuries and were out of form, was shocking. Given their current form, a home win is the only way for me to go.

Stuttgart dangerous without Guirassy

The Bundesliga's top scorer will miss a few more games and then the Africa Cup of Nations in the winter. His nominal replacement is new signing Deniz Undav, who arrived from Brighton before the season. He had a rollercoaster ride at the weekend, scoring an assist and a goal after missing an 11th-minute penalty. I think Undav is a really good player, unlike Guirassy, not for nothing did he play in the Premier League. Stuttgart may have lost to Hoffenheim, but they were the better team. We had 23 shots on goal and missed an Elfmeter, but in the end we just lacked the necessary luck. For comparison: Union had 7 shots on goal despite going a goal down.

My prediction for Stuttgart v Union

Anyone who follows football will have seen the form these two teams are in. Union are looking shaky and lacking in inspiration. In a short week, it is also an advantage that Stuttgart have two home games in a row. I like the home win and the safe option. You can currently get 1.75 at bet365.

Bet: Bet 1

The best odds are with bet365: 1,75
