🏟 MHPArena (Stuttgart)

Stuttgart return to Bundesliga action after participating in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) for the first time since the 2009/10 season, where they put on a strong display but ultimately lost 3-1 to reigning champions Real Madrid. Sebastian Hoeneß’s team faces a tough challenge against Borussia Dortmund, last season’s UCL runners-up. Stuttgart will take confidence from their three victories over Dortmund last season and from their current 13-game unbeaten streak at home in the league (W9, D4). Playing their first game at MHPArena this month, they are in prime position to extend their unbeaten run, having averaged 4.5 goals per game this season.

Unlike Stuttgart, Dortmund triumphed in their midweek UCL tie with a 3-0 win against Club Brugge, maintaining an unbeaten start to the season (W4, D1). In the Bundesliga, they’ve secured victories over Eintracht Frankfurt and Heidenheim, with a 0-0 draw against Werder Bremen in between. Dortmund’s manager, Nuri Şahin, aims to keep his team undefeated in their opening four league matches for the first time in five years. Despite last season's struggles against Stuttgart, Dortmund will be buoyed by their strong away record in this fixture, having lost just once in 12 prior visits (W9, D2). This game promises plenty of goals, as Dortmund's matches this season have seen 16 goals in total, excluding their scoreless draw with Bremen.

A key matchup could come down to the strikers. Stuttgart's new signing Ermedin Demirović has been a thorn in Dortmund’s side, scoring against them in each of the last three seasons. Meanwhile, Dortmund’s forward Serhou Guirassy, who joined from Stuttgart, netted in all three meetings between these two teams last season.

Stuttgart have consistently delivered offensively, scoring 2+ goals in 16 of their last 18 home league games.
