Stuttgart hope to continue their winning start to 2026 as they host ninth-placed Union Berlin. The visitors drew both of their games since the turn of the year. Ilyas Ansah’s first-half brace in his Bundesliga debut handed Union Berlin the three points in the reverse fixture.
Nikolas Nartey starts after scoring Stuttgart’s winner against Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday. Marin Ljubicic stays on the bench for the visitors as he’ll hope to make the same impact to the first couple of games of 2026.
