Stuttgart take on the visitors Borussia Dortmund in the round 29 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, April 8th at Mercedes-Benz Arena (Stuttgart).
Stuttgart have the classic "second season" in the elite division. Unfortunately, Pellegrino Matarazzo and his men could not stay at the high level that was demonstrated in 2020/2021 and struggle for survival this season. There are some positives moments - in the last 5 rounds, only the match with strong Hoffenheim ended in defeat. In March, they managed to gain 7 points after beating Borussia Monchengladbach and Augsburg at home and a draw with Union in Berlin. However, a 1-1 draw in Bielefeld with "Arminia" looked like a defeat as Stuttgart had a lead. That draw didn’t let to break away from the relegation zone - 15th place, but only 27 points. Arminia and even Hertha, which is the last in the standings, have only 1 point less. Any mistake can put the hosts on the bottom of the league.

Borussia is giving up to fight in the end of this season. There are no tournament objectives left. The team is out of national cup, couldn’t advance to Champions League playoff, lost to Rangers in the round of 32 in Europa league and it appears they don’t believe in their own ability to catch up with strong Bayern Munich in Bundesliga, who don’t even look unbeatable, to be honest. Today’s visitors won only half of their 8 recent matches. The most recent one ended with awful 1-4 defeat at home to RB Leipzig. Still, Borussia are 6 points ahead of 3rd place and it’s unlikely to go anywhere from them.
Since 2010, "Stuttgart" was able to take only 2 victories in head-to-heads. Borussia won both matches last year, 3-2 away in April and 2-1 at home in November. Stuttgart has enough losses - 5 players, however, not from the first team, such as Narti, Mwump, Sanko. Half a dozen players will remain in Dortmund due to injuries, including Passlak, Schmelzer, Schultz and Mukoko. Bookmakers consider Borussia Dortmund to be the favorite of this pair.
Prediction for the match: Borussia Dortmund to win.
