VS
Borussia Dortmund vs VfB Stuttgart is a Bundesliga matchup with a shifting status profile. Dortmund have recorded emphatic wins, Stuttgart have answered with decisive victories of their own, and the scorelines can change dramatically from one meeting to the next. That makes the pairing more than a traditional hierarchy: a future contest asks whether Dortmund’s larger historical stature returns or Stuttgart can impose another strong reply.

Stats for this game
Matchup Borussia Dortmund VS VfB Stuttgart
Stuttgart have changed the tone
Stuttgart’s 2–1 win at home in November 2023 was followed by a 1–0 victory in Dortmund in April 2024. Those narrow results gave Stuttgart a credible answer in both venues and made the balance feel more open than reputation alone would suggest. The result leaves room for another change when the clubs meet again under different pressure.
Big margins remain possible
Dortmund’s 5–0 home win in October 2022 shows the other side of the matchup, while Stuttgart’s 5–1 response in September 2024 demonstrated how sharply the contest can swing. The evidence points to a fixture where status matters but does not settle the scoreline. Each side has shown a route to a decisive result, and neither heavy win erases the other’s capacity to answer. A future meeting will test whether the next chapter is controlled by Dortmund’s ceiling or Stuttgart’s demonstrated ability to disrupt it.
