Both Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund will need to bounce back to form when they meet in their final Bundesliga fixture before the international break this weekend. Both sides were beaten in their previous match, and they have also gone two without a win in the German top flight.
There will be pressure on Stuttgart and Dortmund this weekend, as both sides have allowed their standards to slip in recent weeks. Stuttgart will have the home field advantage on Saturday, as they bid to end a two-game losing run and keep their hopes of a Champions League finish alive this term. However, their most recent defeat wasn’t nearly as damaging as it could have been, as four of the top six suffered defeats in their previous matches.
However, Stuttgart would have been disappointed to fall to a defeat against Heidenheim last weekend, as they looked incredibly short in the final third throughout the match. The visitors managed just two shots on goal on the road, despite boasting 70% of the possession. A better attacking display will be expected this weekend.
Borussia Dortmund’s title credentials were dented last weekend, as they were hammered by their arch rivals Bayern Munich in front of their own fans. The defeat means that Dortmund have now gone two without a win in the Bundesliga, ending a three-gaming winning run in the competition.
It was the manner of the defeat that would have been most concerning, as they never looked like troubling Bayern Munich. The loss means that Dortmund now sit seven points off the top of the standings, and they are just a point clear of RB Leipzig in the race for the top four spots.
Dortmund has an excellent record in this fixture, as they have gone five Bundesliga matches without a defeat against Stuttgart. Over that period, they have picked up four victories. However, this exact fixture last term ended in a 3-3 draw, ending Dortmund’s three-match away winning run against Stuttgart.
Both Dortmund and Stuttgart will need to bounce back from their setbacks last weekend when they meet this weekend. Neither side showed much quality in the final third last weekend, but we could see goals being on the agenda this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with Dortmund and both teams to score.
