Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Borussia Dortmund will be aiming to put an extra pressure on league leaders Bayern Munchen when they host Stuttgart to their Signal Iduna Park on Saturday. Marco Rose’s men aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Leipzig, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at die Schwaben. Last time out Stuttgart hammered Borussia Dortmund 5-1 at Signal Iduna Park, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
Even though key attacker Erling Haaland remains in the recovery room alongside Guerreiro, Dahoud, Reyna, Can, and Wolf, home win should be considered as Borussia Dortmund are desperate to stay in the title race. Die Schwaben failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Arminia Bielefeld before the international break, and they are unlikely to spoil Borussia’s party at Signal Iduna Park. Keep in mind that Stuttgart’s injury list is pretty long as well.
