On Saturday afternoon, Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart, two teams that both have the ambition to play internationally next year, will face each other.
The hosts from Dortmund absolutely need three points for this project, otherwise the field will move further and further away from them. The 2-1 away win on the last matchday will have given them some self-confidence, and at home the Borussians are already very strong this season anyway.

Dortmund Form & balance check
Dortmund are going through a very mixed season, which is characterized by a lot of unrest, a change of coach and a lack of consistency. In their last five games, they have lost three times, but at least they played a draw against Bremen in the last few weeks and were able to score their first victory of the year with a 2-1 win on the last match day.
In the table, the Borussians are currently only in eleventh place, but they are only four points away from the Champions League places. With three points against Stuttgart, they could at least jump back into the European places.
Will he turn things around
With Niko Kovač, Borussia Dortmund is hoping to turn things around this season and still make it into the Champions League at the end of the season. The Croatian, who has already coached Bayern Munich, is said to have the necessary experience and quality.
It’s a good thing, then, that his first competitive game in charge of the black and yellow is at home. In ten home games, Borussia have won six, drawn three and lost just once.
Dortmund Facts & Analysis
- Eleventh place
- One win in last five league games
- Last league game won 2-1 against Heidenheim
Stuttgart Form & Record Check
Stuttgart have been doing very well in the season so far, but have had a few problems in recent weeks. Due to the triple burden, it is noticeable that the Stuttgart team is gradually running out of strength. In the last five league games, they have won three times, but they were beaten by Mainz and Gladbach on the last two matchdays.
They are currently still in fifth place in the table, but are only one point behind fourth place.
Away form
VfB Stuttgart have had a poor away record in the current 2024/2025 Bundesliga season. In nine away games, the team has recorded three wins, three draws and three defeats, with a goal difference of 12:15. These performances ensure that they are only ninth in the league-wide away table.
By comparison, the Swabians have already scored 25 goals in their own stadium this season, more than twice as many as in away games. Now they have to try to transfer this offensive form to away games.
Stuttgart facts & analysis
- Fifth place in the table
- Two-game losing streak
- Last league game lost 1-2 to Gladbach
Dortmund will start this game in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Niko Kovač will continue to be without captain Schlotterbeck (suspended), so Can and Anton will once again form the center of defense. On the offensive side, Reyna, Beier, and Adeyemi are also options.
VfB Stuttgart will start the game in a 4-4-2 formation. Sebastian Hoeneß will probably have to do without Millot (ankle injury) and there is still a question mark over the availability of Vagnoman and Woltemade (both ill). For this reason, too, there will not be many personnel changes compared to the cup game. Leweling could start on the wing for Brun Larsen.
