BORUSSIA DORTMUND - VFB STUTTGART


Dortmund will be cheered on, as usual, by their very passionate, massive home crowd, but it may not be enough, to help them to victory today.


Stuttgart have looked the better team this season and will be looking to put some further distance between themselves in 3rd place and the chasing pack. Victory would take them 4 points clear of Bayern Munich and also close the gap on one, or both, of the top 2, who also meet this afternoon.


The hosts are missing two important players in Smolarek and Worns and have won only 30% of their home starts to date. VFB have Tasci suspended, but should travel with confidence, having lost only two away games all season and boasting a draw and 2 wins, in their last 3 visits here.


The visitors meet title favourites Werder Bremen, next Saturday, followed by an easy looking run of fixtures, so 3 points today and a title challenge, is still not out of the question.
I do not see them losing.


4 points Stuttgart +1/4 ball 1.86 asian line.


Back shortly.
