Borussia Dortmund travel to face VfB Stuttgart on Saturday riding a perfect run of five consecutive victories across all competitions. Edin Terzić's side, sitting second in the Bundesliga with nine points from three games, face a Stuttgart team currently 14th in the table after a mixed start to the season.
Dortmund's impressive form has seen them score eight goals while conceding only twice during this winning streak. Serhou Guirassy leads the team's scoring charts in the league with two goals from three appearances. The squad will be looking to build on their recent 2-0 away win against Stuttgart from last April.
Opposition Form and Absences
VfB Stuttgart head into the match following a 2-1 away defeat to Hoffenheim, though they recorded convincing home wins against 1. FC Köln and Viking prior to that. The hosts will be without several key players due to injury, including Angelo Stiller, Dan Zagadou and Tiago Tomás.
Dortmund's Injury Concerns
Borussia Dortmund also have personnel issues to manage. Filippo Mané is out with a thigh injury, Giannis Konstantelias continues his recovery from a cruciate ligament rupture, and Konstantinos Karetsas is sidelined with illness.
With the top of the table tightly packed, securing another three points in Stuttgart is vital for Dortmund's title ambitions. The team's full schedule for the coming weeks can be found on the fixtures page.
Following the trip to the MHP Arena, Borussia Dortmund's next Bundesliga fixture will be back at Signal Iduna Park.
