Borussia Dortmund have won seven of their last eight away games against VfB Stuttgart. The two clubs are set for their 106th Bundesliga clash on Saturday. The facts preview.

Match facts

  • Borussia Dortmund have won 10 of the last 12 meetings. The only exceptions were the 5-1 home defeat at the end of 2020 and the away defeat in November 2017 – their only loss on the Neckar in the last 13 years!
  • BVB have not won more away games against any other club: 16 already!
  • Stuttgart used to be a bogey team, which explains the narrow positive head-to-head record (41 wins, 40 defeats).
  • There has been at least one goal in the past 16 meetings: the last 0-0 came in Dortmund on 3 November 2012.
  • VfB’s Bundesliga games against BVB have produced more goals overall (354; 182-172 in the Borussia’s favour) than those against any other club.

  • Only Leverkusen players have received more red cards (five) than VfB players (four).
