Stuttgart return to the comforts of the Bundesliga after featuring in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for the first time since 2009/10 in midweek, where they gave an impressive account of themselves despite eventually losing 3-1 against reigning champions Real Madrid. Sebastian Hoeneß’s side will now face off against the beaten finalists of last term's UCL in Borussia Dortmund, and they’ll do so with confidence having beaten them on three different occasions last season.
Taking the field at the MHPArena for the first time this month will only boost the Reds’ belief in themselves, as they’re currently riding a 13-game unbeaten streak at home in the league (W9, D4) - their joint-longest run for 15 years. They could eclipse that streak set between November 2008 and August 2009 in spectacular fashion, with their matches this season across all competitions averaging an incredible 4.5 goals per game to this point.
Unlike their hosts, Dortmund claimed victory in their midweek UCL tie at Club Brugge, running out impressive 3-0 winners to stay unbeaten this term (W4, D1). Three of those performances have come in the Bundesliga with a 0-0 draw against Werder Bremen sandwiched between wins over Eintracht Frankfurt and Heidenheim, proving how good a job new manager Nuri Şahin is doing as he aims to keep his side undefeated through their first four league games for the first time in five seasons.
The travelling supporters will be hopeful that their team can do just that despite last campaign's shortcomings against Stuttgart, as prior to that they had lost just once across 12 visits (W9, D2). Nothing is seemingly guaranteed besides there potentially being goals galore though, since BVB themselves have seen no less than 16 goals in their four matches this season besides the stalemate with Bremen.
Key battle: A good old-fashioned arm wrestle between the two number nines could decide who comes out on top here. The threat of Stuttgart’s new recruit Ermedin Demirović is well known to Dortmund since he’s scored against them in each of the last three seasons, while the visitors saw the need to poach their hosts’ top-scorer last campaign in Serhou Guirassy, who impressed by scoring in all three editions of this fixture in 2023/24.
Hot stat: Stuttgart have scored 2+ goals in 16 of their last 18 home league matches.
