VfB Stuttgart has an impressive record in the duel against Borussia Dortmund. Last season, the Swabians won all three competitive matches against BVB – a feat they had not achieved in the last twelve seasons combined. Under coach Sebastian Hoeneß, VfB managed to continue this series, something last achieved by Christoph Daum in the early 90s. Serhou Guirassy in particular was a decisive factor in these encounters, scoring in all three games.

Compared to the 3-0 win in Bruges, Sahin has made changes in defence. Waldemar Anton has moved into Dortmund’s starting eleven for Ramy Bensebaini. This means Anton will face his former teammates from Stuttgart – just like Serhou Guirassy.

After starting on the bench against Brugge, Guirassy moved back into the centre of the attack for Donyell Malen. Emre Can is also back on the bench, replacing Felix Nmecha.

“I thought that even without Serhou we played a decent game (in Bruges, d. R.) – with the ball. “We had a few problems against the ball,” said Sahin shortly before kick-off at DAZN“Serhou gives us a completely different physical touch. He is a number nine by nature, he knows how to move in the spaces and how to run deep. I am extremely happy that he is with us and that he is on the pitch today.

There is one change at VfB Stuttgart compared to the 1:3 defeat at Real Madrid: Ermedin Demirovic is in the starting eleven for Chris Führich.

Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, is struggling with away problems. BVB has been waiting for a win for three away games in the Bundesliga and has not scored a goal in the last two matches. This dry spell is reminiscent of autumn 2019. Despite a strong start to the season with seven points from three games under coach Nuri Sahin, Dortmund urgently needs to improve its away form in order to survive in Stuttgart.

Ermedin Demirovic is currently VfB Stuttgart’s top scorer this season and clearly exceeds his xG values. With an impressive minutes per goal average, he is a key player for the Swabians. On the other hand, Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund recently shone with three points in one game. He is still waiting for his first goal against VfB. Special attention is also being paid to Waldemar Anton, who is about to make his 200th Bundesliga appearance and has an important past at VfB.
