Dortmund Head to Stuttgart With Perfect Bundesliga Start

Overview

• Dortmund travel to the MHPArena on Saturday for the Bundesliga fixture against VfB Stuttgart with three wins from three league games.
• BVB have won five matches in a row in all competitions since the Supercup defeat and sit on nine league points after scoring freely and keeping multiple clean sheets.
• Teenage forward Konstantinos Karetsas has returned to training and is expected to join Dortmund’s matchday squad while Emre Can and Filippo Mane remain unavailable.
• Stuttgart enter the game short of several starters with Dan‑Axel Zagadou expected to miss and a likely back three of Finn Jeltsch, Jeff Chabot and Maximilian Mittelstädt after the hosts conceded nine goals in their first five matches.
• Tobias Stieler will referee, Dortmund will wear their new black away kit, the match is live on Sky Sport Bundesliga and WOW, the weather in Stuttgart is forecast mostly sunny around 23°C, and this fixture’s long history of goals (381 in 112 meetings) makes scoring likely and could influence Dortmund’s momentum before the international break.
