Stuttgart hosts Union Berlin in round 12 of the German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 15th at Mercedes-Benz Arena (Stuttgart)
Stuttgart became the main sensation in the last round. The Swabians played in Dortmund on Saturday. By and large, a draw would be a good result for a newcomer to the German championship. However, the visitors managed to win with a 1:5 score! Silas Wamangituka became the main creator of this result. The 21-year-old trainee of FC Paris, who had not played at the level of the top championships before this season, was a prominent person in the team even before. In the last match, the Congolese scored a double (opened the scoring from a penalty spot in the middle of the first half and took the lead right after the break) and gave an assist to Orel Mangala. By the way, that victory became the second in a row for the men of Pellegrino Matarazzo, who had previously beat Werder in Bremen. Now Stuttgart has burst into the European Cup zone. But will it manage to stay in it?

Union Berlin had little time to rest. Before the voyage to Stuttgart, the Iron Ones played only three days ago. As on Tuesday, Urs Fischer's men closed the schedule of the day on Saturday. And they confirmed their status as a tough nut to crack by gaining a draw with powerful Bayern Munich. Moreover, Premel opened the scoring already in the fourth minute. In general, the champion had enough problems with the capital's team. It is worth admitting – Union Berlin does not have any "complex of the second season." It plays at least no worse than in the debut 2019/2020 championship and actively gains points. However, meetings with such teams as Bayern Munich take a lot of strength. Beyond that, the capital club simply has no experience of playing twice a week.
So far, the clubs have played against each other only four times, and all four games were played outside the First Bundesliga. Stuttgart gained four points in two matches in the second division. Union Berlin took revenge in the play-offs in May last year - both games ended in draws, but the Iron Ones made it to the elite due to the away goal rule (0-0 and 2-2). Both teams are middle peasants who played well with the grandees on Saturday. There will be no strength for another match, so it is better to take neutral Under 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
