Union Berlin
VfB Stuttgart
On April 19, 2025, the An der Alten Försterei Stadium in Berlin will host the 30th round Bundesliga clash between Union Berlin and Stuttgart. Let's consider a bet on the total goals in this match.
Union Berlin
This season has been a real test for the Berliners. The team is in 13th place with 34 points and has almost secured its spot in the Bundesliga for next season. Steffen Baumgart's squad has shown excellent results — 3 wins and 2 draws in the last five matches, which has been decisive in the fight for survival in the closing stages of the season.
Particularly impressive were the two draws against the league leaders — Bayer 0-0 and Bayern 1-1, as well as victories over Wolfsburg 1-0 and Eintracht 2-1. However, at home, Union continues to show inconsistency: 5 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses this season. Despite this, the team has not lost in its last two home matches.
It is worth noting that Union has a negative record against Stuttgart. In the last four games, the team has lost to its upcoming opponent.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart is in 11th place in the standings with 40 points. Sebastian Hoeneß's team still has a chance for European competitions — they are 5 points away from the coveted zone, and 8 points from the fourth place. However, they need to stabilize results urgently.
In the last round, the team suffered a disappointing home defeat to Werder with a score of 1-2. In the last five matches, Stuttgart has only two wins and three losses. Over a longer stretch, Stuttgart has achieved only two victories in the last nine rounds — this slump has pushed the team to the middle of the table.
Stuttgart is much more confident away. In the last five away Bundesliga matches — two wins, two draws, and only one loss.

Match prediction for Union Berlin vs Stuttgart
As the season draws to a close, teams play more cautiously as every point is crucial for achieving their goals. Union, having found form, is focusing on reliable defense, as evidenced by the low scoring in recent matches. Stuttgart, experiencing a slump, tries to act more carefully, especially in away games. Moreover, 4 of Union's last 5 home matches ended with a total of under 2.5 goals. All this points to a high chance of a low-scoring game. My bet is on a total of under 3 goals in the match with odds of 1.62.
