In a weekend match on Saturday Mar 12th, in week 26, Union Berlin will host Stuttgart at Stadion An Der Alten Försterei in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Bundesliga teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cold day, and temperatures reaching a maximum of only 3 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. Union Berlin is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Wolfsburg. Taiwo Awoniyi struck first for Wolfsburg on an own goal in the 24th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Union Berlin was frustrated by Wolfsburg’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Wolfsburg ended the match with the shutout victory. Union Berlin is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches, while stuttgart is fresh off their 3-2 win against Borussia M’gladbach. Alassane Pléa struck first for Borussia M’gladbach in the 14th minute, then Marcus Thuram added another in the 35th minute on a feed from Alassane Pléa But fortunately they were able to complete the comaback in the 83rd minute on a goal by Kalajdzic. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches.
