Borussia Dortmund v Stuttgart predictions: Stats

Dortmund is 4-3-2 so far this season, with a goal average of 3.44 goals per game. Form wise Dortmund is: W-L-D-W-D-L. At home Borussia Dortmund is 3-0-1, with a goal average of 3.5 goals per game. All of these four home games have gone over 2.5 goals. Dortmund has only managed one clean sheet at home though so far this season.

Stuttgart is 3-3-3 so far with a goal average of 2.78 goals per game. Their form is: W-W-D-W-L-D. Away from home Stuttgart is 2-1-1 with a goal average of 3.5 goals per game.  Two of these away games went over 2.5 goals. Stuttgart has managed a clean sheet in two of these four games. Both of these clean sheets came in their two latest away games.

Last time the teams met in Dortmund it ended 4-4 in a thriller of a match. Before that their two latest encounters in the same fixture has ended with a draw.

Run of play and team news

I expect Dortmund to run this game, and have about 55-60% of the possession. The 4-4 thriller of a match last season between these sides was more even possession wise. In that game Dortmund went two nil up inside of 50 minutes, then they let Stuttgart back in the game, and the heat was on with five goals in 16 minutes. 

Dortmund has Champions League football coming up this midweek. Dortmund will then be heading to Madrid to take on Real. This trip might be in the back of their minds. Dortmund can’t afford to dwell too much on the Champions League though. The back to back Champion’s start to this campaign has been subpar.

The strength of Dortmund’s squad should be well known. Goals and assists can come from all over the pitch, but Reus, Gotze and Lewandowski are the main contributors when it comes to goal celebrations. BÅ‚aszczykowski has had a great season so far also with three Bundesliga goals and four assists. 

Stuttgart has a decent side, no doubt. Overall they have good quality players. They do however have to rely heavily on Bosnian Ibišević up front to create some magic. So far he has scored five. Cacau used to be the main Stuttgart goal threat, but he isn’t getting any younger. So far this season he has only notched one goal. Austrian Harnik has been a positive gust of wind this season with his three goals and two assists so far this season. Dortmund will probably try to nullify him to make sure there isn’t much delivery into the box.

Ibišević and Harnik are good players, when they click Stuttgart can put on some good performances. With all due respect, the rest of the Stuttgart team contributes too little offensively. Against a side like Dortmund that can rely on creative players all over the pitch all Stuttgart really can do is to sit back, defend and hope for some chances on the break or that Dortmund will under estimate them. After the 4-4 game of last season the latter is highly unlikely.

Borussia Dortmund v Stuttgart predictions: 1X2 preview

The Champions League game against Real Madrid aside, I can’t see many scenarios here where Dortmund won’t have most of the possession. With all their flair and creativity Dortmund is sure to create chances as well. Stuttgart has hurt the defending Champions in the past, but it isn’t very realistic they can go ahead and do it again. Dortmund would have to be really off on the night.  Unibet offers 1.40 for the home win.

Borussia Dortmund - Stuttgart predictions: Asian Handicap preview

I do not want to go for a wide handicap here. The Champions League game feels too much of a threat for that. Dortmund -0.75 seems about right. It’s priced at 1.46 with Pinnacle Sports. If you aren’t familiar with Asian Handicap betting I urge you to read up on the subject here: Howtobet.net Asian Handicap Guide

Borussia Dortmund v Stuttgart predictions: Total Goals preview

Stuttgart will defend and hope for some magic on the break. Having managed two clean sheets away from home in a row, the visitors will be confident in their defending abilities.  If you like this scenario, and think it represents value there is great odds on the under 2.5 goals line to be had. 2.70 is available, and it represents a 37% chance. That odds is available at Betfair, click here to take it.

If you on the other hand think that the odds of 1.52 (65.79% chance) for over 2.5 is value you can get that odds with Pinnacle here.
