Captain Options
Erling Haaland – Erling Haaland has been on a roll this season with 21 goals and 4 assists in 21 starts in the Bundesliga. He has 37 shots on target and 20 successful dribbles at a 61% success rate. Haaland has also created 23 chances and picked up an assist in their game against Manchester City.
Sasa Kalajdzic – With 13 goals and 3 assists in 16 starts, Sasa Kalajdzic has been Stuttgart’s best player this season. He also created 21 chances and has a shot conversion rate of about 60%. Kalajdzic has been great this season with 1 goal contribution every 96 minutes.
Differential Pick
Borna Sosa – Starting on the left-wing, Borna Sosa has 8 assists and is one of the more underrated players for Stuttgart this season. He has created 59 chances and dispatched 23 shots on target. Sosa has whipped in an impressive 43 crosses which can cause a lot of harm to the Dortmund defence, with dangerous forwards lurking in the final third. He does his defensive duties well too with 78 clearances and 27 interceptions with a tackle success rate of 71%. He hasn’t gotten a goal or assist since March but the Croatian will be tough to contain.
STU vs DOR Dream 11 Teams
Goalkeeper – Kobel
Defenders – Guerreiro, Sosa, Kempf
Midfielders – Reus, Bellingham, Castro, Endo
Forwards – Hazard, Haaland (C), Kalajdzic (VC)
Likely Winner:
The STU vs DOR Today Match Prediction should be an interesting one with both the Champions League and Europa League spots at stake in the Bundesliga. Dortmund will look to reduce the gap between the top 4 while Stuttgart can reduce the gap between the two sides to just 1 point with a win. Alternatively, a win for Dortmund will only make Europa League qualification an uphill battle for the home side. But Stuttgart will go into this game with more confidence after hammering Dortmund 5-1 in the return fixture and the away side’s poor form will factor in too.
