Shortly before the cabin aisle, there is hardly anything to suggest a happy outcome for VfB. At the end of a black and yellow advance over the left, Malen plays flat inwards. Haller can decrease from ten meters, but shoots directly into Bredlow’s hands.

Yellow card for Konstantinos Mavropanos (VfB Stuttgart)
The breast ring bearers must continue playing outnumbered! Mavropanos, who was only recently warned, has a clear speed disadvantage compared to Malen in midfield and can only stop him with a kick to his right foot. Referee Harm Osmers has no choice but to dismiss him.
38
16:10
Millot is already halfway past Can on the left side of the penalty area when he pokes at the ball with his right leg, but clearly misses it and touches the Stuttgarter lightly on the right thigh. For referee Harm Osmers, this contact is not enough for a penalty whistle.

Yellow card for Wataru Endo (VfB Stuttgart)
Captain Endo gets caught moments later for complaining as well. The Japanese criticized a suspected foul play by the guests prior to Mavropanos’ breach of the rules.

Yellow card for Konstantinos Mavropanos (VfB Stuttgart)
Mavropanos grabs Adeyemi on the right shoulder at high speed to stop a Dortmund counterattack. This tactical offense resulted in the first yellow card of the game.

Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 0:2 by Donyell Malen
BVB is expanding its lead! In the aftermath of a corner, Malen dribbles inwards along the half-left edge of the sixteen, shakes off three Stuttgarters and chases the ball from central 15 meters with his right instep dry into the half-right corner.
31
16:01
Guirassy with the huge opportunity to compensate! Führich drives the counterattack through the middle to the sixteen against uncoordinated black and yellow players and puts Guirassy in the limelight with a low pass to the left side of the sixteen. The Frenchman lets Can slide into space and then aims for a short corner in a one-on-one with Kobel. With his shot from nine meters he gets stuck on his right leg.

16:00
Bayern are now also 1-0 up against Hoffenheim, so Dortmund are still two points behind first place in the table. VfB is again penultimate in the live table.

Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 0:1 by Sébastien Haller
Haller’s hammer silences Bad Cannstatt! Malen claims the ball on the deep right flank against Anton and passes halfway to the nearby pentagon. Haller is one step ahead of Zagadou on the ball and thunders the ball centrally onto the home box with his right foot. The ball bounces off the lower edge of the bar and into the net.

15:55
Mavropanos grrangt in the half-right offensive corridor in front of the last black and yellow line and fired a powerful shot with the right instep from a full run and 23 meters. A colleague blocks the promising attempt with Guirassy.

15:52
Happy Bumblebees! Again Vagnoman is served by a cross on the right side of the sixteen, again he nods inwards. Hummels wants to clarify, but produces a ricochet that rushes just over the left corner.
18
15:51
Guirassy with direct acceptance! Sosa’s high cross from the left flank is saved by Vagnoman from the right side of the penalty area with a header for the Frenchman, who tries to volley with the right instep from a central 14 meters despite Hummels’ close guard. The ball sails far beyond Kobel’s box.

15:46
The Terzić selection increases the accuracy of their combinations and shifts the focus of events further and further into the home half. In the event of Bayern going bankrupt against Hoffenheim (still 0-0), they can take over the top of the table with their own win.

15:41
Haller vs Bredlow! After Can’s great pass between the lines to the right side of the box, Guerreiro serves the Ivorian with a flat short pass. Haller shoots unplaced from the middle of twelve meters on the half-right corner. Bredlow raises his right arm and parries. A little later he captures Brandt’s attempt from the left 17 meters in the right corner.

15:41
In the early minutes, the chest ring carriers bring more speed to the pitch than BVB, who also lack precision in the build-up game. In the first 180 minutes, Stuttgart gained a good deal of self-confidence under Sebastian Hoeneß.
7.
15:37
VfB has the premiere chance! Millot, sent to the left baseline by Führich in the penalty area, plays flat back towards the penalty spot. After Guirassy has missed, the unguarded Vagnoman takes off with his left foot a little hastily and with a strong reserve directly. He shoots well past the top left corner.
4.
15:35
The first few moments are very intense and are characterized by some tough duels. Unluckily Can was hit in the left shin by Guirassy, but fortunately he was back on his feet quickly.

Stuttgart versus Dortmund – round one in the Mercedes-Benz Arena is open!
15:28
A few moments ago, the 22 main actors left the catacombs for the lawn.
15:01
The Westphalians won the first leg 5-0 at the end of October at Signal-Iduna-Park thanks to goals from Bellingham (2′, 53′), Süles (13′), Reynas (44′) and Moukokos (72′). and six of their previous seven defeats of the season away from home, coach Edin Terzić makes one change after the 2-1 home win against 1. FC Union Berlin due to injury. Özcan replaces Süle, who is out due to thigh problems.
14:52
On the Swabian side, who will be in 15th place at least until tomorrow with a triple point win and who last beat BVB in front of their home crowd in November 2017, coach Sebastian Hoeneß was forced to make personnel changes compared to the 3-2 away win at VfL Bochum. Zagadou replaces Ito, who is missing due to an infection.
14:46
Borussia Dortmund seems to have digested the big disappointments, namely the clear 2: 4 defeat in the top game at FC Bayern Munich and elimination from the DFB Cup due to the deserved 0: 2 defeat at RB Leipzig, because the most recent Bundesliga home game against 1. FC Union Berlin ended with a 2-1 home win. The black and yellow are still hot on the heels of leaders FC Bayern Munich.
14:38
After VfB Stuttgart fell to the bottom of the Bundesliga table with just one point in five games and had already parted ways with Bruno Labbadia, the first week under his successor Sebastian Hoeneß was extremely successful. After securing a place in the DFB Cup semifinals with a 1-0 away win at 1. FC Nürnberg, the chest ring winners won the basement duel at VfL Bochum 3-2 and were within sight of direct relegation.
14:30
Hello and welcome to the Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon! VfB Stuttgart challenges Borussia Dortmund on matchday 28. Swabia and Westphalia will face each other from 3:30 p.m. on the lawn of the Mercedes-Benz Arena.
