Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund cross swords at the MHP Arena in an intriguing DFB Pokal fixture.
Stuttgart dumped Union Berlin out of the competition in the previous round as the German side marched into the next round of the competition. Third in the Bundesliga table, Stuttgart have won three consecutive domestic ties and with Serhou Guirassy in an unbelievable goal scoring touch the home side could present a massive challenge for Dortmund.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, have shown signs of struggles this season as they are in the fifth position in the league. 10 points behind the leaders Leverkusen, Dortmund will be focussed on winning the DFB Pokal especially after securing a knockout spot from the Group of Death in the UEFA Champions League.
