Borussia has ten more points and it is no surprise, but it was expected that this difference would be even bigger, however, the reason why not are Stuttgart’s excellent games lately and this team has not lost for eight rounds, so from the expected struggle for survival, they now came close to European positions. Borussia is third and this leads them to the Champions League, but they were unexpectedly eliminated from Europa League and in the last round, they have experienced a debacle in Munich. In the first part of the season Stuttgart has surprisingly defeated Borussia with 2-1.

Borussia Dortmund

Even though Borussia thought that after their weak performances in the Champions League and then the elimination in the round of sixteen of Europa League, they could not experience a new embarrassment that was exactly what happened. They played against Bayern in Munich and it was expected they would parry the host, given that the Bavarians had a practically certified title and they had to think about hosting with Sevilla.

Instead of using it, Borussia’s players have completely disbanded and were losing with 5-0 by half-time, which is really unacceptable for this team, regardless of the strength of their host. They have consolidated their ranks in the second part a little bit, but instead of the honorary goal they have received the sixth in the finish. Toprack was not on the center-back, as well as Reus in midfield, while Weigl remained on the bench. We now expect them all in the starting lineup, as well as Philipp, and several players are still out of action due to injury.

Probable lineups Borussia Dortmund: Burki – Piszczek, Akanji, Toprak, Schmelzer – Weigl, Dahoud – Pulisic, Reus, Philipp – Batshuayi

VfB Stuttgart

At the end of the first part of the season, Stuttgart has lost four games and then it seemed that this team was awaiting a very difficult and uncertain second part of the championship. It did not look good even at the very beginning of the second part, and then Tayfun Korkut sat on the training bench and Stuttgart great series which is still on going. Eight consecutive games without defeat have completely separated them from the relegation zone and they do not have to think about it anymore. They also had a series of four wins, while they played a bit weaker in the previous three rounds, especially at home where they played two draws in a row.

The first draw with Leipzig is not so bad, given the strength of their opponent, but in the last round, they had to defeat the last-ranked HSV. But they between those two draws celebrated in Freiburg with 2-1, thanks to two goals by striker Gomez. Beck got the fifth yellow card in that match and therefore he was not in the team in the last round, and he was replaced by Kaminski. Now Beck returns and the team will look the same as in Freiburg.

Probable lineups VfB Stuttgart: Zieler – Beck, Pavard, Badstuber, Insua – Aogo, Ascacibar – Gentner, Er.Thommy – Ginczek, M.Gomez

Verdict:

Stuttgart is in great mood and it is certain that thy will not surrender without a fight in Dortmund, while Borussia needs a win to redeem for that debacle in Munich and the team that is announced is very promising, so this team should dominate and achieve a win.
