Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart promises to be a compelling encounter as both teams vie for crucial points in the league standings. Currently, Dortmund sits in 11th place with 29 points, while Stuttgart is positioned 5th with 32 points. Dortmund enters this match following a narrow victory over Heidenheim but has struggled defensively, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last twelve games. In contrast, Stuttgart recently experienced a loss against Borussia Monchengladbach but has shown resilience with a recent DFB-Pokal win against Augsburg .
Stuttgart at Signal Iduna on Saturday afternoon. Newly appointed manager, Niko Kovac is all set to take charge in his first match, and he will be hoping to get off to a winning start in front of the home fans.
Borussia Dortmund are 11th on the points table with just 29 points in their 20 outings. Things did not go according to plan, so they ended up parting ways with Nuri Sahin. Since they are only four points behind the team in fourth, all is not lost yet.

VfB Stuttgart on the other hand are doing decently well. Yes, they are coming in with a win in their last DFB-Pokal fixture but their last two league matches ended for them as a total disaster. A win over Dortmund will surely take VfB Stuttgart into the Champions League spot. It is mostly going to be an evenly matched contest.
Borussia Dortmund possible starting lineup: Kobel; Ryerson, Can, Anton, Bensebaini; Gross, Sabitzer; Adeyemi, Brandt, Bynoe-Gittens; Guirassy
Stuttgart possible starting lineup: Nubel; Vagnoman, Chabot, Hendriks, Mittelstadt; Leweling, Karazor, Stiller, Larsen; Undav, Woltemade
Leipzig. Dortmund defeated Heidenheim 2-1 away from home last weekend to make it consecutive wins in competitive matches. They haven’t won three games in a row all season long, but there’s never a better time than now to do so.
The challenge is to find form at home, where they drew three and lost one of their recent four league matches. Stuttgart won the reverse fixture 5-1 and have won three league games in a row against their hosts. That could be a boost, as the visitors look to halt a two-game losing streak in the Bundesliga, including a 2-1 home defeat against Monchengladbach last weekend.
