Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on Mercedes-Benz Arena when Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund square off against each other in the Bundesliga round 28. When the two teams met at Signal-Iduna-Park Stuttgart outclassed Borussia Dortmund 5-1, meaning that Edin Terzic’s troops are hungry for revenge. Borussia Dortmund aim to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt, and a victory over Stuttgart will see them keep their Champions League hopes alive.
All Witsel, Sancho, Schmelzer, Zagadou, and Moukoko are all out of contention with injuries. Die Schwaben, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 4-0 loss to ten-man Bayern Munchen, with the team beating Werder Bremen thanks to Augustinsson’s own goal. The likes of Gonzalez, Wamangituka, Mangala, Al Ghaddioui, Mola, and Egloff are all sidelined with injuries. Anyhow, a lively contest is on the cards as both teams will go for a win.
