The race for Champions League spots in the Bundesliga will reach a new high, as 2 of the main contenders Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart face one another. The distance between the two teams is just 4 points and RB Leipzig is also lurking not far behind. So a loss is not on anyone’s agenda here.
Borussia Dortmund Team News
After a long wait to get a victory over Bayer Munich in Der Klassiker, Borussia Dortmund managed to get a shock win over their fierce rivals last time out and in Munich no less. This will surely give Edin Terzic’s team confidence for the tough battles ahead on the domestic and European fronts. The first of these tests will be at home versus third-placed Stuttgart, one of the surprises of this season. Despite being wildly inconsistent throughout the season, Borussia Dortmund has been rather consistent lately and generally consistent at home. The Black and Yellows have scored at least 2 goals in all of their last 5 competitive home games, managed to keep 2 clean sheets and have conceded just 4 goals, 3 of which came from the surprise 2-3 loss to Hoffenheim.
VfB Stuttgart Team News
Sebastian Hoeneß will surely be looking for improvements in his team, especially after Stuttgart’s last game against Heidenheim. Last time out, his team squandered a 2-goal lead and barely avoided defeat thanks to a Deniz Undav goal late in stoppage time. Nevertheless, the Swabians have a good away game record and have won their last 4 Bundesliga away fixtures with some impressive scoring – 3 of those 4 away games saw Stuttgart net 3 goals. But it is exactly away from home where the Swabians have recorded their last 3 losses. The most recent one being in the DFB Pokal against Bayer Leverkusen and before that 2 back-to-back league losses to Bochum and Gladbach.
Head-to-Head-Games
Head-to-head games between Dortmund and Stuttgart seem quite evenly contested. In the last 5 competitive games between these 2 teams, there has been just 1 draw, with either side having 2 wins to their name. Stuttgart’s last win over Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park came back in 2020. After that, the Black and Yellows hosted the Swabians 2 more times and won both of those games.

Borussia Dortmund – VfB Stuttgart Betting Prediction
Borussia Dortmund have found some good form lately and the results show that. The team has been playing well in the Bundesliga and The Champions League. The win over Bayern Munich last time out is sure to give Edin Terzic’s men even more confidence for the game with Stuttgart, which is pivotal for the Champions League spots in the Bundesliga. My view here is that Dortmund will continue with their good form and impressive scoring habits and net over 1.5 goals here. They have done so in their last 6 competitive games and there are no signs of stopping.
