Prediction

  • Title-chasers Dortmund are trying to deny Bayern an 11th successive Bundesliga success and haven't featured in a 0-0 draw in 116 games, a run stretching back to October 2019.
  • Three-time Bundesliga champions Stuttgart grabbed their first away win since December 2021 last Sunday to rise off the bottom of the table after replacing Bruno Labbadia with Sebastian Hoeness as coach.
  • Dortmund won the reverse fixture 5-0 and can nick the points to keep their title hopes alive and further increase Stuttgart's relegation worries.
