Command Analysis
Union Berlin
GermanyThis season, Union has been very good, and Urs Fischer'steam is still a contender for European competitions. The «iron» team is on the seventh line in the table with 40 points in the asset after the 29th round, four points behind the sixth Bayer. Union is up against Borussia Monchengladbach, Stuttgart, and Freiburg, all of whom are within striking distance.
Union drew 1-1 with Bayern Munich in the last round, extending their winless streak to three games.
VfB Stuttgart
GermanyIn general, Stuttgartis having a good season—shortly after returning to the Bundesliga, Pellegrino Matarazzo's squad entered the European competitions. «Shvab» is currently in ninth place in the table, five points behind sixth-placed Bayer – a handicap of five points is not insurmountable, particularly when considering the shape of the «pharmacists.»
Stuttgart fought hard against Borussia Dortmund in the last round, but lost 2:3 for the second time in three games.

Tip and bets
Despite all odds, «Union» tries to battle for a place in the European Cup, but has so far been defeated by «Bayer.» «Iron» is a daunting opponent for any Bundesliga representative at home, so «Stuttgart» is expecting a tough test. Nonetheless, the «Swabs» have a stronger lineup of players and can play well away from home, allowing them to cling to points.
The hosts, we believe, will not be able to win. Stuttgart is expected to win/draw the match. With a coefficient of 1.70 in 1xStavke, such an outcome is possible.
«Union» has always built its game around defense, and it is unlikely that it will change its approach in such a crucial match. Stuttgart's offensive strategy would undoubtedly fail. The visitors would not take any risks from the start, as a loss in this match will effectively eliminate their chances of competing in European competitions, so the match is unlikely to be fruitful.
Our second wager will be on a total of three goals or fewer. A bet like this can be made for 1.60.
