Preview
Borussia Dortmund are ninth in the Bundesliga after 16 points in 10 matches played. The backlog from the Union is seven points, and from the Baern Munich – three.
In general, it is likely that Dortmund will still become one of the main participants in the fight for victory in the league.
In the last match, which took place within the framework of the German Cup against Hannover, the hosts won on the road with a score (2-0).
In the last round of the Bundesliga, the club lost to Union Berlin (0-2), before that there were two draws with Sevilla (1-1) in the Champions League, and Bayern (2-2) in the championship.
Stuttgart, meanwhile, is in 14th place with eight points in ten matches. The club managed to score 13 goals, while conceding 15.
In early October, the club’s management decided to change the team, dismissing head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, who was replaced by Michael Wimmer.
And under the guidance of a new coach, the team immediately defeated Bochum (4-1). And a few days later, Stuttgart beat Arminia (6-1) in the German Cup match.
Ten goals scored in two matches – Stuttgart fans could not even dream of such a thing. So the change of head coach, it seems, was very necessary.
