VfB Stuttgart vs. 1. FC Union Berlin - News - October 31, 2023 | FOX Sports

Kevin Volland - Struggles in cup Volland played 72 minutes and was held off the scoresheet during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Stuttgart.

Impact Volland had a tough day in attacking midfield, failing to accomplish much and eventually coming off at 72 minutes. The forward hasn't seen major minutes outside of injury and suspension elsewhere in the starting XI and seems unlikely to break into a major first team role on form.

Benedict Hollerbach - First start Hollerbach made his first senior team start during Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Stuttgart.

Impact Hollerbach has seen some run off the bench, five appearances for 87 minutes, but he now has his full debut. He failed to get too much done in a struggling attack but still it was a good day for the attacker to get a chance in the first team on the left wing.

Pascal Stenzel - Still active in cup Stenzel played 80 minutes during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Stenzel has been the top choice at right-back starting all but one match in all competitions. The defender has taken a huge step forward in all aspects of his game and has been truly impressive in a shockingly strong Stuttgart campaign. Stenzel remains a positive option in the defense, with three assists and 10 chances created in nine Bundesliga appearances.

Genki Haraguchi - Gets run in cup Haraguchi played the final minute of Tuesday's 1-0 win over Union Berlin in the DFB Pokal.

Jamie Leweling - Gets cup start Leweling got the start but failed to get on the scoresheet during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Leweling has been a consistent contributor but doesn't frequently find his way into the starting XI barring injuries elsewhere. The winger should continue to see minutes off the bench but barring injuries to Chris Fuhrich or Silas it appears Leweling will remain sidelined.

Waldemar Anton - Busy yet again Anton started and played the full 90 during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Union Berlin in the DfB Pokal.

Impact Anton got the start Tuesday, his 11th start in a row in all competitions. The defender is the first name on the team sheet and has been an absolute iron man, playing every single minute in all competitions and marshalling the defense near the top of the table. In this sort of form and with Stuttgart flying high Anton is a solid central defensive choice.

Angelo Stiller - Starts in win Stiller got the start during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Union Berlin.

Impact Stiller has been a consistent piece in defensive midfield and is a major part of the starting XI in all competitions. Despite his lack of offensive minutes Stiller is still developing a solid floor, especially in a Stuttgart side that is competing near the top of the table in the Bundesliga.
