Best Odds: 11/2
Borussia Dortmund and VfB Stuttgart will lock horns with each other in the Bundesliga this coming weekend. The match between Die Borussen and Die Roten will be held at Signal Iduna Park and is scheduled to kick off at 2:30pm UK time on Saturday.
Borussia Dortmund
Borussia Dortmund are one of the biggest clubs in Germany and regularly compete for the Bundesliga title. Die Borussen are used to competing in Europe’s major club competitions, including the UEFA Champions League, but things are not going well for them at the moment.
Niko Kovac’s side are as low as 11th in the Bundesliga table at the moment with 29 points from 20 matches. Dortmund are unlikely to be able to catch Bayern Munich at the top of the league table, but they are only four points behind fourth-placed RB Leipzig and could still end up in the top four.
Dortmund will head into the Bundesliga game against VfB Stuttgart at Signal Iduna Park this coming weekend on the back of a 2-1 victory over Heidenheim away from home in the league. It came after a 3-1 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk at Signal Iduna Park in the UEFA Champions League which came after a 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen in front of their fans in the Bundesliga.

Serhou Guirassy will lead the line for Dortmund.
