Our Prediction
Both sides are in brilliant attacking form, and with Stuttgart at home and buoyed by their 5-2 romp, this should be an absolute cracker. Guirassy is lethal, but Undav is arguably the Bundesliga’s most in-form German striker right now. Expect goals at both ends in what could be the match of the weekend.
Predicted Score: VfB Stuttgart 2–2 Borussia Dortmund
