Recent meetings between Stuttgart and Dortmund have produced entertaining and high-scoring contests. The reverse fixture earlier in the 2025/26 season ended in a dramatic 3-3 draw, with Deniz Undav scoring a hat-trick to rescue a point for Stuttgart in one of the most thrilling games of the campaign. Stuttgart’s recent league record against Borussia Dortmund has been impressive - no defeats in the last six head-to-head matches.
VfB Stuttgart team overview
Stuttgart enter this match in strong form, having suffered just one defeat in their last 14 Bundesliga matches and recently securing a convincing 5-2 victory over Augsburg in Round 27. This run has strengthened their position in the top three and boosted confidence ahead of the clash with Dortmund.
Sebastian Hoeneß is expected to rely on key players such as Deniz Undav, Chris Führich, and Angelo Stiller, all of whom have played important roles in recent fixtures and international duty. The squad appears largely stable, allowing Stuttgart to maintain tactical consistency and attacking intensity.

Borussia Dortmund team overview
Dortmund arrive in equally strong shape, with their only defeat in the last 20 Bundesliga matches coming against Bayern, underlining their remarkable consistency this season. They recently secured a 3-2 win over Hamburg, maintaining second place and keeping pressure on the league leaders.
In terms of team news, Felix Nmecha is unavailable due to a knee ligament injury and will miss several weeks, slightly reducing midfield depth. However, Dortmund still retain strong attacking options and tactical flexibility under their current setup.
Players like Serhou Guirassy, Julian Brandt, and Karim Adeyemi are expected to lead the attacking line, providing pace and finishing quality that could challenge Stuttgart’s defensive structure.

Prediction
Stuttgart’s home advantage suggests they can compete on equal terms, but Dortmund’s defensive stability and competitive recent form put them in a comfortable position to secure a positive result on Saturday.
Prediction: Borussia Dortmund win or draw (double chance x2).
Three reasons we expect Double chance x2
- Borussia Dortmund have only lost once in their last 20 Bundesliga outings.
- Although Stuttgart’s recent form has been impressive, they can still be vulnerable at MHP Arena: they have failed to win three of their last eight Bundesliga home matches.
- Borussia Dortmund are unbeaten in nine consecutive Bundesliga away fixtures.
