Stuttgart Form & record check
The start of the Bundesliga did not go as expected for the runners-up. On the first match day, they had to accept a defeat, followed by a draw on the second match day. This is certainly not how Borussia Dortmund had imagined the start of the season. But on the third match day, the team returned to their old form and celebrated an important 3-1 victory against Borussia Mönchengladbach. VfB Stuttgart was finally able to score points and secured their first win of the season.
At the beginning of the week, Stuttgart had a difficult Champions League duel ahead of them: They traveled to record Champions League winners Real Madrid and lost 1-3. Despite the defeat, Stuttgart put in a solid performance on the international stage. We are confident that they will rack up a few wins in the upcoming Champions League games and continue to improve.
VfB Stuttgart’s home strength in the Bundesliga is no longer a secret. If you include last season, the Swabians have not lost in their last 13 home games, with an impressive nine wins and four draws. This streak makes VfB an extremely difficult opponent to face at home. What’s more, the most recent record against Borussia Dortmund speaks for Stuttgart: they have also remained unbeaten in the last four meetings, with three wins and a draw. These impressive statistics could also give them an extra boost on Sunday.

Dortmund Form & Record Check
Borussia Dortmund got off to a strong start to the week. On the first matchday of the Champions League, they celebrated a commanding 3-0 victory against Bruges. In the Bundesliga, Dortmund are currently in 2nd place, with two wins and a draw from their three games so far. With the success in the Champions League, they are now unbeaten in five competitive games. Their current form is significantly better than that of VfB Stuttgart.
Nevertheless, Dortmund have always had problems against the Swabians in past encounters. Despite Dortmund’s strong form, we can expect an evenly-matched clash in which both teams will give their all.
Will the winning streak continue?
Borussia Dortmund have not been beaten in eight games and are in impressive form. They are also undefeated in the Bundesliga, which highlights their current strength. In these last eight games, Dortmund have scored a total of 20 goals, which illustrates their offensive power. One particularly impressive player in the Dortmund team is Karim Adeyemi, who is currently Dortmund’s top scorer in the Bundesliga with two goals. With this strong streak behind them, Dortmund will be full of confidence going into the upcoming clash against VfB Stuttgart.

VfB Stuttgart will again line up in a 4-3-3 system, as they did in the game against Real Madrid. However, important players such as Nikolas Nartey, Leonidas Stergiou, Ameen Al-Dakhil and Justin Diehl are missing due to injury.
Borussia Dortmund will also start in a 4-3-3 formation, with all players fit except Giovanni Reyna, who is out with a groin strain. The lineup is expected to remain unchanged, meaning that the same team should start as in the game against Bruges.
