Stuttgart will be hoping to build on last season's German Cup triumph, when they begin their new Bundesliga campaign with a visit to Union Berlin on Saturday afternoon. Despite that cup success, it was a slightly disappointing league campaign for Stuttgart last time around, so manager Sebastian Hoeneß will be keen to improve on their ninth place finish. Last weekend's narrow Super Cup defeat to Bayern Munich was not the ideal start to the new season, but Hoeneß will have been encouraged by his side's performance, as they pushed the Bundesliga champions all the way before eventually losing 2-1.
As for Union Berlin, they will also be looking to improve on a 2024-2025 season that saw them mired in mid-table obscurity for the majority of the campaign. Finding the net was the big problem for Union, and their tally of 35 league goals was one of the lowest in the division. If boss Steffen Baumgart can solve those attacking woes, there is every chance that Union could be in the mix for a European place.

Our Union Berlin vs Stuttgart Prediction
The oddsmakers make Stuttgart fairly strong favorites, but opening-day games often produce strange results, so we are steering clear of predicting a winner and instead looking at the total goals markets. Last season's encounters between Union Berlin and Stuttgart produced a whopping 13 goals, and we think Saturday's clash will continue in that vein. Stuttgart looked sharp going forward in their Super Cup defeat to Bayern, whilst Union should be greatly improved in attack this time around, thanks to a host of Summer signings. Our prediction for Union Berlin vs VfB Stuttgart is: Over 3.5 goals.
