Borussia Dortmund vs Stuttgart Prediction and Betting Tips | October 22, 2022
Borussia Dortmund will host Stuttgart at the Signal Iduna Park on Saturday (October 22) afternoon in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have struggled in the league recently, falling behind in the title race after a decent start to the season. BvB lost 2-0 to surprise league leaders Union Berlin in their last game. Dortmund dominated possession but created very little before going on to beat Hannover 2-0 in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday.
Dortmund are eighth in the Bundesliga standings with 16 points from ten games. They will now look to return to winning ways in the league this weekend.
Stuttgart, meanwhile, endured an abysmal start to their season, which cost manager Pellegrino Matarazzo his job. They have, however, received a new lease of life under interim manager Michael Wimmer. Die Roten beat Bochum 4-1 in their last Bundesliga outing before demolishing Arminia Bielefeld 6-0 in the domestic cup.
The visitors are 14th in the league table with just eight points and will look to add to that tally this weekend.
