VfB Stuttgart could have been relegated last season, with a sixteenth-placed finish in the German Bundesliga leading to a play-off match where Die Roten were able to preserve their top-flight status. They are now enjoying a new lease of life under Sebastian Hoeneß, recording seven wins from ten games and adopting an attacking approach.
Twenty-seven goals being scored is a spectacular return which is only bettered by Bayer Leverkusen and Bayern Munich, with Sehrou Guirassy continuing on the goal trail and the Guinea forward has now notched an incredible fifteen goals for a team. However, the forward has recently been sidelined and might not make this match.
That spells good news for a Borussia Dortmund side who were thrashed 4-0 in Der Klassiker against Bayern Munich, although they were able to rally and beat Newcastle United 2-0 in the Champions League. This is a team who have scored eleven times in four away clashes and we’re expecting an entertaining encounter here.
Indeed, the best bet could be Over 3.5 Goals which has been a regular outcome in Stuttgart and Dortmund matches this term. From a Bet Builder point of view, both teams scoring could be the way forward. Perhaps this can be combined with a Dortmund win, with confidence levels restored after some stellar Champions League performances.
