Prediction

  • Both teams were in Champions League action in midweek, but Stuttgart enjoy 24 hours extra rest and recuperation from that mouthwatering Champions League opener against Real Madrid.
  • VfB Stuttgart did the league double last season over Dortmund on their way to a runners-up finish, also knocking BVB out of the DFB Pokal.
  • After finishing fifth last term, Borussia Dortmund are eyeing a much-improved domestic campaign, which was salvaged somewhat by a surprise run to the Champions League final.
  • Back Stuttgart to use the extra rest and recuperation to edge this one with goals at both ends.
