The hosts, with 33 points on the table, welcome Klopp’s former team to the Mercedez-Benz Arena aiming to secure a win at home. After a 1-0 loss to FC Augsburg last weekend, the Cannstatt Boys are committed to fighting for their team and staying as far as possible from the threatening relegation zone. Regardless of Stuttgart’s 14th position in the standings, Jürgen Kramny’s crew must perform well in order to clinch a vital victory at home.
However, Dortmund will be coming into this match full of confidence after easing past Hertha BSC in midweek, claiming their ticket to the German cup final.
Team news - who's fit and who's not?
Things aren’t looking so positive for the home side, as several key players are set to miss this clash against Bundesliga's second place contenders. Stuttgart will take on Borussia Dortmund without long-term absentees Daniel Ginczek (cruciate ligament) and Kevin Grosskreutz (torn muscle). In addition, Jürgen Kramny’s boys will have to deal with Reus & Co. without defensive midfielder Mark Ristl (muscle fibre) and centre-back Toni Sunjic (head injury). The only doubtful player for this anticipated German encounter is fan favorite, Kevin Großkreutz (torn muscle bundle), who participated in a light training on Tuesday morning.
The visitors will be in the absence of defenders Neven Subotic (arm) and Erik Durm (knee) as well as winger Joseph-Claude Gyau (knee). To top the injury list is Dortmund’s ace, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, who picked up a costly toe injury during the team training ahead of the DFB-Pokal semi-finals against Hertha BSC.
