Back from the break, straight into a top match: BVB visit VfB The scenario Before the international break, BVB came from 2-0 down at home against HSV to secure a 3-2 victory. It was their 18th win of the season and took their points tally to 61. Only one team in second place had accumulated more points at this stage of a season: BVB in the 2015/16 season (64).

“We need to show over 90 minutes what we showed against HSV in the second half. That will be crucial, because if we don’t manage that, it will certainly be much harder to get anything from the game,” said BVB head coach Niko Kovac ahead of the trip to Stuttgart. “We want to win the game.

Second against third – that’s an interesting match and, of course, we want to win it. ” Personnel matters “Everyone is fit,” says Kovac of the players currently available for selection. Part of the squad stayed in Dortmund, whilst the other part was away on international duty – and successfully so.

“The Turks and the Swedes have qualified for the World Cup . That’s always nice for our players. It’s motivation, it’s joy, it’s a goal they have in their sights.
