- Dortmund have won 3 from 3 Bundesliga 2026/2027 games, but this will be a different test of their title credentials.
- Stuttgart have won 2 of their last 2 home games in all competitions.
- Borussia Dortmund have won 2 of their last 2 away games in all competitions.
Head-to-head
Borussia Dortmund won the last head-to-head between these clubs 2-0 away in Bundesliga 2025/2026, but the last 3 meetings have been split 1 win each and 1 draw.
Stuttgart
The hosts arrive off the back of a 4-1 home win over 1. FC Köln and a 3-1 home victory over Viking FK, but fell to a disappointing 2-1 defeat away to Hoffenheim on the previous weekend.
Josha Vagnoman has been a spark for Stuttgart, leading their Bundesliga 2026/2027 scoring charts with 2 goals in 2 games, but Ermedin Demirovic has chipped in with 4 of their 11 goals scored across the last 5 matches.
Sebastian Hoeness has made Stuttgart a compact, structured outfit with a midfield block that can be very difficult to break through in the centre of the field. Dortmund's pace, overloads out wide and high-pressure pressing could make the wide duels key, and that's where Stuttgart could win this game if they can capitalise.
Stuttgart have 1 win from 1 at home in Bundesliga 2026/2027, averaging 4.00 goals scored and 1.00 goals conceded at the MHPArena.
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund have had a brilliant start to the Bundesliga 2026/2027 campaign, winning 3 from 3 games and sitting 2nd in the table on 9 points, but 14th-placed Stuttgart have 3 points from their 3 games.
Dortmund come into this game unbeaten in 5 matches, winning their last 5 games across all current competitions, in what has been a hot start to the 2026/2027 campaign for Die Roten.
Niko Kovac has kept the high-press and quick vertical play but has put a bit more structure into Dortmund, whose top scorer in Bundesliga 2026/2027 is Serhou Guirassy with 2 goals. But in the current season, the big man has bagged 4 of their 12 total goals in the last 5 games.
Selection
Dortmund are red-hot, and Stuttgart are narrow favourites at 2.22, while the draw is at 3.75. However, we're taking Dortmund at 2.82 as the underdog on Saturday afternoon.
There may not be much between the clubs, but we're going for Dortmund to edge a close and lively match. Stuttgart's home form suggests that Dortmund may have to work hard for this one, but we can see it staying very close for a long time.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.38 looks the sharper selection on the goals markets, but we're also taking both teams to score at 1.33.
