Relegation-threatened Stuttgart will be looking to claim back-to-back Bundesliga victories when they face Union Berlin at the Alte Forsterei on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts, meanwhile, have endured a difficult run of form recently and they will be keen to return to winning ways as they bid to keep their Champions League hopes alive.
We say: Union Berlin 1-1 Stuttgart
There has been very little to separate these two sides in recent meetings and another tight affair could be on the cards this weekend.
While spirits will be high among Stuttgart's camp, we can see Union Berlin securing at least a point in front of their home supporters.

Freiburg continue their quest for European qualification in the Bundesliga when they welcome Wolfsburg to the Europa-Park Stadion on Saturday.
The hosts remain well in the mix for the top four despite suffering late heartbreak last weekend, whilst the visitors continued to repair their disappointing campaign so far by picking up a narrow victory.
We say: Freiburg 2-1 Wolfsburg
This clash is likely to be a very tight affair overall, with little to separate these two sides despite their differing fortunes this campaign.
With Freiburg returning home and possessing the greater consistency this season, we believe they will edge out their visitors with a narrow victory on Saturday should they maintain their high standards of 2021-22.

Bayern Munich will be looking to extend their advantage at the top of the Bundesliga when they travel to high-flying Hoffenheim on Saturday.
The hosts have won four on the bounce as they go in search of a surprise return to the Champions League, whilst the visitors silenced a few doubters with a thumping win in Europe in midweek.
We say: Hoffenheim 1-3 Bayern Munich
Hoffenheim are likely to cause this shaky Bayern defence some problems on Saturday, especially given their excellent recent form, but with several defensive absentees, they could struggle to contain this deadly opposition strikeforce.
If Lewandowski and co can replicate their exceptional standards of midweek, then there's no reason why Bayern will not stroll to another comfortable victory despite the calibre of their hosts.

Augsburg go in search of back-to-back victories in the Bundesliga when they host Mainz 05 at the WWK Arena on Saturday.
The hosts moved away from immediate danger following a huge win last weekend, whilst the visitors' woes on their travels continued as they fell further behind in the race for the European places.
We say: Augsburg 1-0 Mainz 05
One goal could well be enough to win this tight game of football on Saturday, and with Augsburg buoyed by last weekend's victory, we can see them edging out the visitors by a narrow margin here.
The hosts are relatively solid at the WWK Arena and the visitors have been awful on their travels, so a home win is our predicted outcome, although it would not be surprising to see Mainz grind out a point if they can replicate some of their early season form.

Borussia M'bach vs. Hertha Berlin (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Saturday's Bundesliga action concludes with a huge relegation six-pointer between Borussia Monchengladbach and Hertha Berlin at Borussia-Park.
Both sides fell to defeats once more last weekend, with two big clubs in German football enduring dreadful campaigns so far to leave them in danger of a catastrophic drop out of the top flight.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 Hertha Berlin
With two of the division's three worst defences going head to head at Borussia-Park, goals are surely to be expected, but these huge relegation battles can go one of two ways when predicting goal fests.
Gladbach's front line, in particular Plea, has begun to find its rhythm in recent weeks, so we are predicting for the hosts to come out on top courtesy of their ability to outscore their opponent rather than the potential of putting in an excellent complete performance.
