VfB Stuttgart vs Dortmund Prediction & Betting tips
The Bundesliga has us again! After the international break, the 18 teams start the hot pre-Christmas phase. The 12th round begins with the duel of the riser from Stuttgart against the last weakening Dortmunder.
VfB Stuttgart :
The still unbeaten Swabians are on place 12 after the 11th round and have collected 13 points so far. The four victories and a draw brought them all in the Mercedes-Benz Arena, away they are still without a point.
The only two away wins this season were the two games in the DFB Cup. Right at the beginning of the season, the men sat down to coach Wolf on penalties at Energie Cottbus and end of October, they won sovereignly at 1. FC Kaiserslautern and are rightly in the second round, so they have ran at the end of the year at 1. FSV Mainz.
In the Bundesliga, success and failure alternate, because the Stuttgart do not manage to finally take something countable from abroad. Not even last matchday, when they traveled to Hamburg after a clear 3-0 home victory over SC Freiburg but had to leave the pitch there as losers in a crazy game 3-1.
The game started rapidly with the first chance for the Swabians, but Ginczek failed free before the strong goalkeeper from Hamburg. Because Burnic saw the fastest and probably most controversial traffic light card of the season after 12 minutes on the Stuttgart side and thus had to leave the field, more and more rooms opened up for the Hanseatic League, which they knew how to use in the 20th minute. Hunt scored with a direct free kick under strong help from goalkeeper Schwaben Zieler the 1: 0 lead and simultaneous break.
After the break, the Stuttgarter did not let up and came in the 55th minute by a penalty, the Ginczek sure transformed, to 1: 1 equalizer. However, they then continued to play courageously forward and the HSV ended their negative run in the 65th or 69th minute with a single stroke and won the match 3: 1 at the end.
On Friday evening, the Swabians receive the BVB and they could win against them for nearly eight years no longer in their own stadium, brought in the same period only one point against the Westphalia.
Ascacibar comes back to yellow suspension, but Burnic is missing because of the yellow-red card, which he saw against HSV. Badstuber is also back in the team training and will in all likelihood move back into the team.
Zieler – Beck, Baumgartl, Pavard, Insua – Ascacibar, Aogo – Asano, Akolo, Özcan – Ginczek
Dortmund :
Many football experts ask in the last weeks what is going on only with the BVB. After the lightning start to the Bundesliga with seven consecutive wins and only two goals against, they have led the table confidently until mid-October and have been waiting for a full success ever since.
First, it set the first home defeat after a felt eternity against RB Leipzig, when you lost 2: 3. Then they gave a 0: 2 lead at the SGE still out of hand and played only 2: 2. The newcomer from Hannover then put it a bitter 4: 2 swatter and a week later the next home defeat against Bayern, they went down with 1: 3.
In the premier class, the whole thing does not look much better. There they have collected only two points in four games and have not won a duel yet. Subterranean performances against Hapoel Nicosia, which each ended 1-1, made voices loud that coach Bosz was just a misunderstanding and is already looking for a new coach. More like the Euro League will not be in this year and if you do not focus quickly again, this will be in danger.
Only in the DFB Pokal you stand confidently in the round of 16, but you have since with the away game at Bayern a real end game at the end of the year.
On Friday, the Black and Yellow visit the newly promoted from Stuttgart and there they can travel with peace of mind, because the last point loss is almost exactly seven years back. Since they drew 1-1 draw and won by then all other duels against VfB Stuttgart in the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
To date, no new injured players are known at BVB, so coach Bosz can draw on the full, as long as all national players also return home safely from international matches.
Bürki – Bartra, Sokratis, Toprak, Schmelzer – Weigl, Castro – Kagawa – Yarmolenko, C. Pulisic – Aubameyang
