Prediction: 2-2
Borussia Dortmund
Stuttgart will look to build on their impressive 3-1 victory over Borussia M’gladbach as they host Borussia Dortmund in round 4 of the Bundesliga. The hosts have been sharp in front of goal of late, but injuries to the likes of Justin Diehl, Frans Kratzig, Leonidas Stergiou, and Nikolas Nartey could impact their depth. Despite these setbacks, Stuttgart’s attacking potential remains a threat for the visiting side.
Borussia Dortmund, meanwhile, head into the match following a 4-2 win against Heidenheim, where they showcased their offensive firepower. The only injury concern for the Yellow-Blacks is Giovanni Reyna, meaning they should have most of their squad available for Sunday's derby. Given both teams' recent attacking form, this game promises to be an open, end-to-end affair. With Stuttgart pushing for a strong home performance and Dortmund’s ability to score, expect goals from both sides. Taking everything into account, we predict both teams will find the net in the MHP Arena clash.
