Stuttgart vs Borussia Dortmund Betting Tips: Over 2.5 Goals / BTTS

At the start of the season, few could have foreseen that Stuttgart would lead Dortmund by five points in the Bundesliga as they head into Wednesday’s DFB Pokal clash. This is especially surprising as we are only halfway through the season.

Sebastian Hoeneß, currently third in the division, continued their impressive start to the season with a decisive 2:0 victory over Werder Bremen last weekend. VFB has now triumphed in 10 and suffered only two losses in their last 12 matches across all competitions.

Die Roten have showcased an impressive performance at MHP Arena, winning seven out of their last eight matches. This includes a recent 2:1 victory over Dortmund in the Bundesliga, just three weeks ago. In these eight games, VFB has managed to score a remarkable total of 23 goals.

Dortmund travels to Stuttgart with increased confidence after a well-fought point against Bundesliga leaders Leverkusen on Sunday. Despite enduring significant pressure, Edin Terzic’s team managed to secure a 1-1 draw, maintaining their fifth position in the Bundesliga, however, they remain ten points behind the early frontrunners.

Dortmund have had a difficult time maintaining consistency on the road this season. They have managed to secure victory in five out of ten games, suffering only two losses, one of which was a 2:1 Bundesliga defeat at this venue.

When these two teams get involved, goals are typically a safe bet. I’m expecting an exciting cup tie on Wednesday. Stuttgart’s home matches have seen an average of over 3.5 goals this season, while Dortmund’s last ten away games have seen an average of 3.33 goals. I’m confident we’re in for a thrilling match.

With those numbers in mind, I’m confident we will see over 2.5 goals and BTTS on Wednesday with both teams in good form and keen to make their mark on Germany’s premier cup competition.
