VfB Stuttgart

Ermedin Demirović is expected to start on the right of Stuttgart’s attack after scoring four goals across his two recent starts. Dzenan Pejcinovic has started three of the last four matches but has yet to score, leaving a decision for Sebastian Hoeneß against Borussia Dortmund.

Deniz Undav and Chris Führich are competing on the left. Undav has provided two assists in three starts and came on against Hoffenheim, while Führich started that match. Bilal El Khannouss and Jamie Leweling were also left out of the eleven against Hoffenheim before appearing later. Tiago Tomás remains unavailable with a muscle injury, and Luca Jaquez is doubtful with a muscle problem.

Borussia Dortmund

Konstantinos Karetsas remains unavailable after missing Borussia Dortmund’s win over Paderborn because of circulatory problems. He had started three of the previous four matches and supplied one assist, so Ethan Nwaneri is expected to retain his place on the right after making his first Dortmund start against Paderborn.

Nico Schlotterbeck also made his first start of the season in that game, but his ankle injury rules him out at Stuttgart. Daniel Svensson is therefore expected to continue on the left. Fábio Silva marked his first start against Paderborn with two goals and an assist and is expected to keep his place. Samuele Inácio is available again after completing a two-match suspension.
