VfB Stuttgart - Borussia Dortmund

VfB Stuttgart is one of the weakest sides in second half oft he season. They got not much and looked very tired in the past matches. Of course because they have a very small squad and with 42 matches in their legs so far their freshness is gone. Maybe the one week rest help them a bit to recover and also the knock out of the European League. Now they can take their main focus to Bundesliga where they are close to drop zone but with an important win in bag against Frankfurt where no one expected put them a bit out of trouble.. This win gave them some self confidence back and also they saw that they can win matches even if they work as team and put all effort in. At home they are not so good as on the road, maybe this is more that their offensive players need some space and like it more to bring in their quickness like both wings with Harnik and Traore have. If they can create some and give lone striker Ibisevic some opportunities in the box it is more as possible that he score. On the other side they have to minimize their mistakes in defensive because according to this they lost some matches although they were good in the game. And today they have some problems to field a good eleven because with Okazaki, Tasci, Torun, Cacau and Bah are injured while Kvist and Molinaro are suspended.

After not such a good first half of the season Dortmund managed it to overcome Leverkusen because of their weak phase in the past matches. But nevertheless they are close behind and Dortmund can not allow losing points as their real target it to save second place. Despite an important champions league match ahead they have to put the main focus on this encounter. If we compare both teams it is more as obvious who is the favorite in this one. With such a great offensive Stuttgart can get a lot of problems above all if the train continues like in the past. With players like Götze, Reus, Lewandowski, Kuba (doubtful) or Gündogan, Sahin they can create many and sooner or later they score because of their class it is hard to control or hold them down the whole match. Coach Klopp got an alternative more because Sahin showed two weeks ago that he is on a good way and can return to his old shown performances in Dortmund jersey.

Of course, it is always a bit difficult after a break to find back on the level they had before but overall I am very keen that they can. I mentioned already that Dortmund’s offensive looks great while Stuttgart’s defensive is always able to do some mistakes in defensive and if Dortmund put a lot of pressure on them I doubt that they are not able to score some. Sure If they are up 2-0 they looking forward to the important match in CL. This maybe can be a bet crusher but depends on how close the match is.
