VfB Stuttgart vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 19th September 2026

VfB Stuttgart hope to live up to their early billing as the Bundesliga title favourites this coming Saturday when they welcome Borussia Dortmund over to the MHPArena for a round 4 match.

A look at the Bundesliga standings shows that six points and 12 places currently separate the two teams.

VfB Stuttgart find themselves as number 14 in the league table with three points from their initial three matches this campaign. As number 2, six points above them, Borussia Dortmund have played three rounds this season.

Borussia Dortmund are looking to widen the gap between them and VfB Stuttgart in the Bundesliga table when they take on each other on Saturday. The home side will be keen to prevent the difference from increasing any further.

VfB Stuttgart scored 2.1 goals on average in their past ten matches, hitting the target 21 times. They conceded 21 goals, an average of 2.1 and pulled off one clean sheets.

Borussia Dortmund show off splendid stats in their last ten matches, where they hit the target two times on average per game. They scored 20 goals and conceded eight, an average of 0.8 a game. They held on for a clean sheet in five of these.

The last time these two teams faced off against each other, Borussia Dortmund came away as 0-2 winners. No doubt they are planning a similar outcome this coming Saturday.

VfB Stuttgart are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out FC Koln by 4-1, before beating Viking by 3-1. The winning streak came to an end against Hoffenheim, who ran out 2-1 winners. VfB Stuttgart won four of their last six Bundesliga matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded five and scored 13 goals.

Borussia Dortmund Form

In their last three matches, Borussia Dortmund first beat Hoffenheim 2-3, then Villarreal by 3-2 and finally Paderborn by 3-0. Borussia Dortmund performed a very admirable four wins in six Bundesliga away matches, drawing none but losing twice as well. They scored ten times, while also conceding six goals.

This particular encounter between VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the home side has enough about them to pull off a win on Saturday.
