Stuttgart vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Betting Tips | September 22nd 2024
Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund return to action in the Bundesliga when they square off at MHPArena on Sunday. Both sides head into the weekend off the back of contrasting results in the UEFA Champions League, with Nuri Sahin’s men claiming a comfortable victory over Belgian outfit Club Brugge.
Stuttgart were denied a dream start to the new UEFA Champions League campaign as they fell to a 3-1 loss against defending champions Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu on Tuesday.
Before that, Sebastian Hoeness' side were on a four-game unbeaten run across all competitions and friendlies, claiming one draw and three wins, including a 5-0 victory over Munster in the DFB-Pokal opening round on August 27.
Stuttgart now turn their attention to the Bundesliga, where they have enjoyed a decent start to the season, picking up one win and one draw from their first three games.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, turned in a solid team display on Wednesday when they cruised to a 3-0 win victory over Club Brugge in the Champions League.
This was in keeping with their fine run of results in the Bundesliga, where Sahin’s men have picked up two wins and one draw from their first three games to collect seven points and sit second in the table.
Dortmund head into the weekend unbeaten in each of their last eight games across all competitions, claiming six wins and two draws since a 4-0 friendly defeat against Pathum United on July 21.
