VfB Stuttgart vs. 1. FC Union Berlin - News - January 18, 2026 | FOX Sports

Alexander Nubel - Two saves for draw Nubel made two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Union Berlin.

Impact Nubel stopped two of the three shots he faced during Sunday's draw. The goalkeeper wasn't tested for most of the match and nearly earned a clean sheet and win. In the end it was a day to forget for Nubel and Stuttgart, as they were left saddled with a disappointing draw. Nubel will need to bounce back in European competition against Roma on Thursday.

Angelo Stiller - Quiet day in draw Stiller registered one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners during Sunday's 1-1 draw with Union Berlin.

Impact Stiller didn't have much to do in holding midfield throughout Sunday's draw. It was a day to forget in holding midfield as he was unable to overly influence the match on either side of the ball. Stiller has some decent offensive upside, but for the most part he's a box-to-box midfielder who tends to play more defensively as Stuttgart look to control the match.

Ramon Hendriks - Assists on lone chance Hendriks assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Union Berlin.

Impact Hendriks created a single chance and it proved to be a hugely important one as it earned the only goal and a draw Sunday. The defender isn't a major offensive contributor, as noted with just a single chance created, so this is a surprise and a nice boon. Despite this assist Hendriks isn't worth looking towards for consistent goal upside moving forward.

Chris Fuhrich - Scores Sunday Fuhrich scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Union Berlin.

Impact Fuhrich made the most of his only shot during Sunday's match. Scoring an earning a draw in a match where Stuttgart really struggled to get forward. He sent in a pair of crosses as well, though neither was particularly dangerous. Fuhrich has been linked with a move away from Stuttgart, wherever he plays, Fuhrich is a dangerous option off the wing.

Frederik Ronnow - Two saves for draw Ronnow registered two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Ronnow faced three shots during Sunday's draw and stopped two of them. It was enough for the goalkeeper to earn a point, though in truth he would have wanted the clean sheet and win. Ronnow has been solid, if not glamorous with four clean sheets in 18 starts and 27 goals allowed.

Diogo Leite - Quiet for draw Leite registered one shot (zero on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Leite created a chance and took a shot during Sunday's draw, just missing out on a clean sheet. Leite is a very defensive center-back, with limited chances to roam forward. That limits any occasional offensive upside he offers and a mixed midfield unit means he doesn't pile on the clean sheets either.

Stanley Nsoki - Rare assist for draw Nsoki assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw against VfB Stuttgart.

Impact Nsoki provided one assist during Sunday's draw, a rare goal contribution for the defender, who often struggles to get on the ball in the attacking third. It's more likely than not that this is just a blip and not an indicator of a heavily-offensive second half of the season. Nsoki remains a limited defensive option moving forward.
