Die Borrusen have had a decent start to their current campaign, winning six, tying three, and losing one in ten league games. They had a perfect opener against Mainz 05, giving their hosts hell, defeat, and a red card in the 2-0 full-time score reading. The second game saw a drop in momentum as they tied against RB Leipzig in the 1-1 encounter, which worsened things in the third game against Die Bayern, who defeated them 2-1.

Dortmund secured identical 1-0 victories in the fourth and fifth matches against FC Koln and Augsburg. Last week, they secured a point against Hamburger SV, which fans considered to be quite disappointing after holding a second-half lead secured in the 64th minute courtesy of Carney Chukwuemeka, till the 97th minute when the host secured the tie, seconds before the final whistle.

In the UEFA Champions League, they lost 4-1 against the English team Manchester City last week, and eyes are on Niko Kovac to see how he shuffles the squad ahead of their next game against Spanish side Villarreal.

Die Roten have pleased their fans with their current form, holding seven victories in ten games played, while losing three. The 3-1 loss against RB Leipzig was considered quite embarrassing, with an own goal breaking the ice late in the first half. The second half resumed with the team playing too carefully, eventually slipping in the 53rd when the opposition scored to secure a two-goal cushion. What allowed was a motivation to find an eqauliser, Tiago Tomas scoring to make the score 2-1. Towards the end of the contest, fatigue began to creep in, and the hosts took the initiative to push them further, scoring in the 91st minute to maintain the two-goal lead.

Last week, the Reds played against Augsburg like men on a mission, despite the visitors drawing first blood in the eighth minute. Stuttgart won a penalty ten minutes later and leveled the outstanding deficit. The visitors struck again in the twenty-sixth minute to keep the score at 2-1. Seven minutes before the end of the first half, Denis Undav found the back of the net, and both teams entered halftime tied at two goals each. The second half saw the two sides pushing for a break but ending unsuccessfully - until the eighty-first minute when Denis Undav registered his brace, giving his team a hard-fought win in the eventual 3-2 score reading.

They have been brilliant in the goal-scoring department, scoring seventeen goals while conceding twelve.

🏁 VFB Stuttgart: Lineup

🎯 Borussia Dortmund vs VFB Stuttgart Match Prediction 22 November 2025

Despite what the bookmakers insinuate, BVB Dortmund are a troubled team wth many of their regular starters missing. The defense looks solid enough, but the midfield and attacking options do not spur much confidence ahead of this contest. The visitors are better coordinated and will also try to push the “Swabian superiority” conspiracy again, having beaten Dortmund three times in a row.

Goals are the only variant we can depend on in this game, as the visitors have defied the hosts at home countlessly.

🔥 Our prediction is the Draw OR Stuttgart Victory option, which Bet365 offers at 2.00 odds.

🔥 Our final prediction will be for the visitors to score at least two goals at a 2.64 coefficient of odds from 1xbet
