Stuttgart vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 13/04/2023, 19:08  by Daniel Ngulu in Bundesliga Predictions

Borussia Dortmund have another chance to stay in touch with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga title race, when they travel to Stuttgart for their next league match. These two sides are operating from the opposite ends – Dortmund in second spot and Stuttgart are occupying the relegation playoff position. For both sides, this is a game that will boost their ambitions if they can win it. Hosts Stuttgart are coming from two straight wins, one a cup game and their most recent a league game. In their league match, Stuttgart overcame a second half scare to beat Bochum 3-2, building on a 1-0 win over Nuremberg in the German Cup. The win over Bochum, the team directly above them, was the first in six league matches but they are still grappling with defence, having failed to keep a clean sheet in the last six league games. Three of their last five league matches have ended in over 2.5 goals with both sides scoring in three.

After two straight losses, Borussia Dortmund registered a key win in their last game, beating Union Berlin 2-1 at home to open up a five-point gap ahead of the third placed side. Dortmund trail Bayern Munich by two points and as they hope the champions slip, they will be targeting a win here that could take them back on top. The Bundesliga is the only trophy Borussia are in contention for, which makes this a crucial game. It is their scoring form in the league that Dortmund will mostly rely on to lift them here, having scored a total of 14 goals in their last five Bundesliga matches. Each of their last five league games has had over 2.5 goals but Dortmund haven't kept a clean sheet in those games.
