Team form
VfB Stuttgart
VfB Stuttgart, currently 14th with 3 points from their first three matches, has had a mixed start to the season, recording 1 win and 2 losses. Their last outing resulted in a 1-2 loss to 1899 Hoffenheim, but they previously demonstrated attacking prowess with a notable 4-1 victory against 1. FC Köln. On average, Stuttgart has scored 2.00 goals and conceded 2.67 per match this season, which indicates both strengths in their offense and vulnerabilities at the back.
Borussia Dortmund
In contrast, Borussia Dortmund is enjoying a flawless run, sitting in 2nd place with a perfect record of 3 wins from 3 matches, amassing 9 points. Their impressive form was highlighted by a 3-0 win against SC Paderborn 07, showcasing a solid defense, conceding only 2 goals while scoring an average of 2.67 per game.
Head-to-head
The historical meetings between Stuttgart and Dortmund have showcased a significant advantage for the away side, with Dortmund winning 4 of the last 5 encounters. Stuttgart's sole triumph came in a 2-2 draw back in 2014, while more recent matchups, such as the last one where Dortmund triumphed 3-1, reflect the challenge Stuttgart faces against their rivals. Dortmund has scored a staggering total of 18 goals over the past 5 meetings while Stuttgart could manage only 5.
Key factors
Key players are pivotal in determining the outcome of the match. Stuttgart’s prospects rely heavily on M. Mittelstädt, who shined last week with a goal alongside solid performances from E. Demirović and C. Führich. The absence of several players, including L. Assignon and S. Hoeneb’s tactical setup in a 3-4-2-1 formation, might weigh heavily. Dortmund will look to leverage the influence of Fábio Silva, who has been key to their attack, along with the dual threat of J. Bellingham and S. Guirassy. Dortmund's success this season has been rooted in a balanced style that combines defensive stability and efficient goal scoring.
Prediction
Given Stuttgart’s mixture of strong attacking displays and defensive frailties, this match appears set for goals, especially with an estimated expected score of 1.8 to 1.66 in favor of Stuttgart. Statistically, both teams are also likely to hit the back of the net, as suggested by the odds reflecting a strong expectation for goals being scored.
Overall, with Borussia Dortmund’s unbeaten run and superior league position, they emerge as clear favorites. However, Stuttgart's home advantage could complicate matters if they optimize their attacking play. A closely contested match is anticipated with the likely scenario pointing towards a home win.
