Borussia Dortmund vs VfB Stuttgart Prediction & Preview

Preview

As the Bundesliga gears up for an electrifying clash this Saturday, 6th April, all eyes will be on SIGNAL IDUNA PARK where Borussia Dortmund hosts VfB Stuttgart in what promises to be a thrilling encounter in the 28th round of the league. With Borussia Dortmund currently sitting 4th with 53 points and VfB Stuttgart not far ahead in 3rd place with 57 points, this match could significantly impact the upper echelons of the table.

Edin Terzic's Dortmund side comes into this fixture on a high after a commanding away win against FC Bayern München (0-2), showcasing their defensive solidity and attacking prowess. On home turf, Dortmund averages an impressive scoreline of 2.5 goals per game while conceding just one goal on average. Their recent form has been strong with four wins out of their last five matches.

Sebastian Hoeneß’s VfB Stuttgart, however, will not make things easy for the hosts. The visitors have had a commendable season so far and are slightly ahead in terms of points collected from their last five games compared to Dortmund. Despite drawing their last game against Heidenheim (3-3) at home, Stuttgart has been formidable offensively throughout the season, averaging 2.7 goals per game and showing particular strength when playing away with an average scoring rate of 2.6 goals.

The head-to-head record between these two teams adds an extra layer of intrigue to this matchup; each side has claimed victory twice in their last five encounters with one draw splitting them apart — including Stuttgart’s memorable win over Dortmund earlier this season (2-0).

Given both teams' propensity for high-scoring games and considering that they boast some of the most exciting talents in German football between them, spectators can expect a match filled with opportunities and possibly plenty of goals.

Bet

Taking into account both teams' recent form alongside their offensive capabilities — especially given that both sides have consistently scored above average when playing at home or away respectively — betting on 'Over 2.5 goals' seems like a promising option here at odds of 1.44.

Despite Borussia Dortmund being slight favorites according to odds (Home Win - Odds: 2.25), it's hard to overlook how closely matched these teams appear based on current standings and past performances against each other as well as others in Bundesliga contention; making predicting an outright winner more challenging than usual.

However, given our analysis focusing primarily on goal statistics which suggest we're likely to see at least three goals being scored during this encounter makes 'Over 2.5 goals' our recommended bet for those looking towards adding excitement while watching what is set up to be one thrilling football match-up.
