Stuttgart Form & Balance Check
The Swabians from Stuttgart have been collecting point after point in recent weeks. Meanwhile, the promoted team from last season stands at nine points and thus in a respectable 12th place. Last weekend, there was a point in the 1-1 draw against the foals from Mönchengladbach. Due to many absences because of several corona infections, VfB could live well with this result in the end. Now, in the next home match, the 3rd win of the season is to be achieved. With the help of our own fans, this is not an impossibility.
Historical injury misery
Where would VfB be if they didn’t currently have such bad luck with injuries? This question may have crossed the minds of one or two VfB fans in recent weeks and months. Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo currently has to do without a large number of key players. Florian Müller, Enzo Millot, Silas Katompa-Mvumpa, Roberto Massimo, Sasa Kalajdzic and Mohamed Sankoh are all unavailable. Above all, the absences of keeper Müller and goal scorer Kalajdzic weigh extremely heavily.
Stuttgart facts & analysis
– Three games without defeat
– Currently in 12th place
– Many retirements to lament
Union Berlin Form & Balance Check
Currently, the Union’s playing time has to be divided into two parts. On the one hand, we have here the performances in the Bundesliga. To have 15 points on the account after eight match days is truly not a matter of course. After the strong 7th place from last season, many fans already suspected bad things, because such a season can hardly be repeated. Currently, they are in fifth place and if coach Urs Fischer’s men continue to play such concentrated and determined football as they have recently, then they can go far this season.
Internationally, they are still paying their dues
The 7th place from the previous season meant that the Berliners were represented in an international competition for the first time in the club’s history. We have to be honest about that, so far the Eisernen have paid a bit of a lesson here. After three matchdays, the Berliners have two defeats and one win. Reaching the next round is not written off yet, but in the 2nd half of the group phase, a clear improvement in performance is needed. During the week, they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Feyenoord Rotterdam.

Predicted line-up – last update on 22 October 2021
At VfB Stuttgart, the first eleven is currently virtually putting itself together. The Swabians continue to be severely weakened by substitutes, but the starting line-up is still respectable. Marmoush is the only top player and is supported by Coulibaly and Führich. There are no surprises for Union Berlin and coach Urs Fischer is again using a 3-4-1-2 system. Goal scorer Awoniyi will of course be under special observation here.
