At Signal Iduna Park on 22 November 2025, Borussia Dortmund host VfB Stuttgart in one of the standout fixtures of the Bundesliga weekend - a meeting between two sides with top-four ambitions and the quality to push even higher. Both teams have shown strong phases this season, and the clash promises intensity, tactical discipline, and high stakes.
Dortmund Aim to Reassert Their Home Authority
Borussia Dortmund remain a force at home, where the atmosphere and tempo often give them an extra edge. Before the international break, they were denied a win only by a late setback in Hamburg - a frustrating finish to an otherwise solid performance. Niko Kovač’s side are generally consistent at home, combining structured possession with bursts of aggression in the final third. With the top four tightly contested, Dortmund will see this as a crucial opportunity to strengthen their position against a direct competitor.
Stuttgart Strong Overall but Recently Slipped Away from Home
Stuttgart continue to impress under Sebastian Hoeneß, offering fluid attacking football and disciplined defensive rotations. They remain one of the most enjoyable sides in the league to watch. However, their recent 1–3 defeat away to RB Leipzig showed some vulnerability on the road, despite a respectable performance. At home, Stuttgart can challenge almost anyone - but in Dortmund, the balance shifts. Playing away at a venue where Dortmund so often dictate play presents a different level of difficulty.
Prediction: AH – Dortmund -0.5
While both teams are strong and competitive, Dortmund’s home advantage and their need to respond after the late setback in their previous league match give them a slight but meaningful edge. Stuttgart will compete, but Dortmund appear better placed to impose themselves.
The selection is Asian Handicap Dortmund -0.5.
