VfB Stuttgart form and stats

4 victories, 3 draws and 6 defeats. That’s what VfB Stuttgart have to build on here at Mercedes-Benz-Arena in the Bundesliga. We have seen two home losses in a row now for VfB Stuttgart, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

A good away victory last time out for Stuttgart, who won 3-2 against Bochum (placed 15th). Sweet to taste a league win after five fixtures without. Ito was "man of the match" with a rating of 7.85 out of 10. The defender Ito scored one goal and won 6 of 7 duels.

Before that one, a strong away win at Nurnberg. A DFB Pokal match.

Borussia Dortmund form and stats

The visitors are W7-D1-L6 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund won their last game, 2-1 versus Union Berlin played at home. Moukoko came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Union Berlin last time out, making the manager Terzic feel like a tactical genius. Defender Guerreiro was the best team player with a rating of 8.35. Guerreiro served one assist, hit four key passes and won 3 of 6 duels.

A loss, in the DFB Pokal away at RB Leipzig, before that.
