Dortmund to enhance Champions League chances

On Sunday afternoon, Dortmund host Stuttgart at the Signal Iduna Park, as the home side attempt to strengthen their position in the Bundesliga top-four.

Dortmund are currently third-place in the German top-flight and in a fight for a Champions League spot. BVB are only three points clear of fifth-place Bayer Leverkusen, so the home side needs to keep winning to maintain their top-four spot.

A 6-0 hammering at champions Bayern Munich ended a 12-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga for BVB. The game was high scoring, which went against many of BVB’s recent games, as five of their last seven league games have produced under 2.5 goals.

Dortmund are unbeaten in seven home games in the Bundesliga, having recorded four wins and three draws. Meanwhile, BVB’s home games in the German top-flight have been low scoring of late, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four games.

Stuttgart are eighth-place and still have an outside chance of claiming a European spot this season. An eight-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga has seen the visitors move up the table and to within four points of the European spots.

Last time the visitors drew 1-1 at home against struggling Hamburg, which was a disappointing result considering the opposition’s position in the table.

Stuttgart’s recent games in the Bundesliga have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last nine league games.

Tayfun Korkut’s team are unbeaten in their last four away games in the Bundesliga, having recorded three straight wins on their travels in the top-flight. The visitor’s recent away games in the Bundesliga have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight games on the road.

Forebet predicts that Dortmund will boost their hopes of sealing a top-four spot this season by recording a high scoring victory.
