THE PREDICTION

Curiously, Borussia Dortmund have lost five of their seven home league games played behind closed doors, having lost just one in 32 under Lucien Favre with fans present. They do seem to be missing the support from the infamous ‘Yellow Wall’ – and Favre could also be missing a long list of players for this encounter. Top scorer Erling Haaland is among those definitely ruled out, while several players are doubtful with knocks. So, it might be a good time for Stuttgart to visit Signal-Iduna-Park. The visitors are unbeaten on their travels this season, registering three wins and two draws, and have impressed with their bold, energetic football since returning to the top flight. Dortmund are prone to the odd surprise defeat and Stuttgart certainly look appealing for draw no bet.
