Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there's no obvious winner for this clash, but good reason to think Stuttgart and Union Berlin will score 2 or more goals between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Sebastian Hoeneß or Steffen Baumgart has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s of late either. The bookmakers are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.29 equating to roughly a 74% probability.
