Borussia Dortmund-Stuttgart is a match valid for the 28th day of the Bundesliga and is played on Saturday at 6:30pm: live TV, probable formations, predictions.
Borussia Dortmund’s fourth win in a row in the league came in the most eagerly awaited match for yellow and yellow fans, the one with Bayern Munich. Last Saturday, Edin Terzic’s team broke a taboo that had lasted since 2019, the year of their last success against the Bavarians.
The goals of Adeyemi and Ryerson (0-2) signed a very important success that also generates some regrets: if Borussia Dortmund in the first part of the season had not committed too many missteps and had had the continuity of the last three months they probably could have had a say in the title as well. That was not the case, and the goal now is to hold off Leipzig in the battle for fourth place and avoid being left out of the next Champions League. The victory at the Allianz Arena allowed Reus and his teammates to take advantage of the Roten Bullen’s slowdown with Mainz and move to +3 on former Marco Rose’s team.
However, there is another direct clash to be won at all costs and that is the one with Stuttgart, third behind Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich and a big surprise this season.
The Red and White, led by Sebastian Hoeness, believe in the Champions League and will attempt to leave Signal Iduna Park with at least a point in their pockets. Indeed, by avoiding defeat, they would remain +4 ahead of Borussia Dortmund. Stuttgart also slowed down last Sunday, being forced into a draw at home by Heidenheim at the end of a thrilling match that ended 3-3. The Swabians have already faced Borussia twice this year and beaten them in both the league and the German Cup.
The prediction
Stuttgart on the road has no half measures (8 wins and 5 losses) but has not lost since last January. Borussia Dortmund is also healthy: in 2024 the yellow-and-whites have another step but in front of their own public this year there has been no shortage of slips (8 wins but also 2 draws and 3 defeats). Difficult, in short, to identify a clear favorite in a match that promises balance and spectacle: at least three goals in total.
