Stuttgart are still down in 9th spot in the Bundesliga standings, though Friday’s 7/10 favourites have won three of their last five matches at home and they have been tipped to triumph again this week.
Union Berlin are just a point behind Stuttgart in the table, however, their run of three defeats and two draws in five games means they will kick off as 15/4 underdogs on Friday. Check out more of our latest football predictions on our tip-packed page.

Player to watch – Ermedin Demirovic
With Deniz Undav facing a spell on the sidelines, Ermedin Demirovic will shoulder extra responsibility in attack for Stuttgart between now and Christmas, though the Bosnia & Herzegovina international is classy enough to cope.
Demirovic in good goal-getting form
Demirovic bagged a brace in Stuttgart’s 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen last weekend taking his tally for the campaign up to seven goals in 12 Bundesliga appearances since the summer. The 26-year-old should be confident enough to gobble up another chance if one falls his way on Friday.
