On Monday, starting at 19:30, the Union Berlin – Stuttgart match will be played in the Bundesligi play-off, the second round, the 2018-2019 edition. Stuttgart led the tour twice, but was equalized every time. After the 2-2 result on the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the second division is the favorite in the Bundesliga promotion for the first time in the history of the club.
3rd place in the Bundesliga 2 has achieved an excellent first-hand result with Stuttgart, becoming the favorite in the Bundesliga promotion. Union Berlin impressed this season with exemplary defensive, only 33 goals scored, being the first in this hierarchy. The formation prepared by Urs Fischer lost only 5 matches in the Bundesliga 2, but he also managed to draw the most draws, 15 in number. Before Monday’s return, the only absences are those of Fabian Schonheim and Eroll Zejnullahu, injured for a long time.
Stuttgart showed defensive defeats in the “home” dispute with Union Berlin, failing to keep the minimum advantage twice. “Swabians” now need a victory in Berlin, but this will be extremely difficult to achieve. Nico Willig has to do a rare extraordinary success because Stuttgart has won a single duel this season, played outside his own arena. Defender Andreas Beck, the base holder for “Swaps”, will not return to the Monday match, as well as Erik Thommy, absent in the last three games.
With the compact and penetrating game on the contour, Union Berlin will get promotion in the first echelon. However, Stuttgart is bound to risk, which is why the successes will not be missed.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,83
