On Saturday afternoon, struggling Stuttgart host league leaders Borussia Dortmund, as BVB look to extend their lead at the top of the Bundesliga.

Stuttgart have made a poor start to their Bundesliga campaign, managing to pick up just five points from seven league outings so far, while claiming just one victory. The home side has lost two of their last three matches in the German top-flight. Last time out the home side suffered a 3-1 defeat against Hannover.

Stuttgart have a decent recent home record in the Bundesliga, losing just once in ten games on home soil. Their recent home games in the German top-flight have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in 12 of their last 14 home games.

The fact that Stuttgart have struggled for goals on home soil in the Bundesliga have contributed to the recent low scoring games, as they have scored just 11 goals in their last 14 home games.

Dortmund have won seven and drawn two of their nine Bundesliga games so far this season. The key to BVB’s good start to the campaign has been their attacking threat, as they have scored at least two goals in all five of their league victories.

Last time out in the Bundesliga, Dortmund recorded a 4-3 home win over Augsburg, BVB’s third straight win in the German top-flight.

One negative heading into this game for the visitors is their recent record in the German top-flight, as BVB have won just one of their last eight matches on their travels.

Their recent away games in the Bundesliga have been relatively low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in six of their last nine games on their travels.

Forebet predicts that Dortmund will record a victory in a high scoring game to add to Stuttgart’s recent woes.
