After losing just their second game of the current Bundesliga season, Borussia Dortmund will try to get back on track when they face Stuttgart, a team that has represented no problems in the recent past for them. Although Bayern Munich holds a commanding 11-point lead against Die Schwarzgelben, dropping more points is not an option for Thomas Tuchel's side, since the fight for the second place will be tough in the following weeks.
On the other side of the pitch, Stuttgart's season has been a huge disappointment. Currently in relegation spots, the team sacked coach Alexander Zorniger and left coaching duties for Jürgen Kramny, who will try to end their current two-game losing streak.
Borussia Dortmund
This has not been an easy week for Dortmund. After losing their Bundesliga match against Hamburger, the yellow and black side lost a second game facing Krasnodar in their Europa League group. For the game against Stuttgart, Tuchel will have a full squad to choose from, with the exception of Erik Durm and Nuri Sahin.
Stuttgart
Following Zorniger's sacking earlier this week, interim coach Jürgen Kramny will have a few complications putting up a competitive squad to face Dortmund. Former Borussia goalkeeper Mitchell Langerak, Martin Harnik, Robbie Kruse and Daniel Ginczek will sit out this game due to injury, while Geoffroy Serey Dié will watch the game from the stands to serve a one-match ban.
Head to head
Stuttgart has not been able to defeat Borussia Dortmund in their last six meetings. The yellow and black side has won four of those games, conceding a couple of draws for Die Roten. Borussia Dortmund has scored 16 goals facing Stuttgart, who has only been able to net the ball eight times. Last year, Stuttgart took advantage of Borussia's sloppy start of the season by taking away one point from Signal Iduna Park.
