A 2-2 draw in their last match against Werder Bremen meant Stuttgart had to settle for a share of the points.  They came away from that fixture with 57% of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Werder Bremen managed 20 attempts on goal, with 6 on target.  

While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 8 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 10, and leading to valuable points being dropped.   Their goal scoring streak at home now stands at 27 games in a row, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at MHPArena.  

They have put together a nice run of home form recently, managing to go undefeated in 5 matches out of their last 6 at MHPArena and recording 3 wins in that same period.  

On an individual basis, Ermedin Demirović will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 7 goals in Stuttgart's 12 league games this season.

The 2-1 home defeat to Bayer Leverkusen will not have sat easily with the Union Berlin squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points.  Their share of possession in that meeting was 38%, while racking up 8 shots along the way, 2 of which were on target. Bayer Leverkusen had 8 shots on goal with 3 on target.  

Manager Bo Svensson will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 4 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   

They've had a poor run of form on the road recently, losing 3 of their last 6 away games and managing only 1 win.
