In a big game that will have a hand in the Bundesliga top four, Borussia Dortmund will host Stuttgart this Saturday. Dortmund seek to consolidate fourth spot while Stuttgart can go level on points with second placed Bayern if they win. By all means, this is a key game for both sides, the prize being a boost in the quest for Champions League football. Dortmund will approach the game on a high after beating champions Bayern Munich 2-0 in their last outing. An away win at Bayern is all the motivation BVB need to show them they can challenge for higher than a fourth placed finish. That was their fifth straight win since falling 3-2 at home to Hoffenheim. That was their only loss in 16 matches across all competitions. It also remains the only time they failed to win at home in the last four matches. This season, they’ve netted at least two goals per game, but conceded on average once in their 27 matches. Defence thus remains a key concern for the team even as they are doing well in attack. At home, in the Bundesliga, both teams scored in seven of Dortmund’s last 10 matches. Eight of the 10 home matches ended with over 2.5 goals.

Stuttgart are coming from a highly dramatic game, needing a late goal to draw Heidenheim 3-3. It took a stoppage time goal from Deniz Undav to claw back after Heidenheim had risen from 2-10 down to lead 3-2. Stuttgart’s defence was breached for the first time in three matches and this would leave a lot of questions in their top-four charge. There would however be very few questions about the attack, having scored three in three of their last four matches. The three goals in the last game extended Stuttgart’s scoring run to 10 straight matches, but they only have two clean sheets in that run. Eight of their last 10 matches ended with over 2.5 goals. Sebastian Hoeness’ side will be unfazed about traveling to Dortmund, they have four straight wins on the road in Bundesliga. In three of those away wins, they have scored three times. This marks the third time these two sides will be facing off this season. Stuttgart won the first two – 2-1 in the league and 2-0 in the German Cup. Both were at home and they’ll be gunning for a first away win at Dortmund in three attempts.
