Borussia Dortmund
Sparkles will be flying when Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund face each other at MHPArena in what is expected to be the most interesting game of Wednesday’s program in the German Cup last 16. Die Schwaben aim to build on a 2-0 win over Werder Bremen, but they face a tough challenge against the Yellow-Blacks. Boss Sebastian Hoeness is likely to switch to the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Serhou Guirassy up front as a lone forward, while all Lilian Egloff, Hiroki Ito, Roberto Massimo, and Nikolas Nartey remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, head into the match following a 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga derby. As Stuttgart are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the share of spoils is on the cards. All Felix Nmecha, Julien Duranville, Niklas Sule, Ramy Bensebaini, and Salih Ozcan are sidelined with injuries, while both Adeyemi and Meunier are pushing for a start.
