Second-running Borussia Dortmund (9-2-2, 29 points) is keen on bouncing back from last week's surprise setback as it squares off with bottom three club VfB Stuttgart at the Signal Iduna Park on Sunday, November 29th for a 2015-2016 Bundesliga season action.
Die Borussen was stunned by Hamburg, 1-3, at the Imtech Arena last Friday as Gabonese forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was the only goal scorer of the match for Thomas Tuchel's side, as per SkySports.
Die Rothosen took advantage of Dortmund's sluggish performance with forward Pierre-Michel Lasogga and midfielder Lewis Holtby netting a goal each at the 19th and 41st minutes. An own goal by Dortmund team captain Mats Hummels at the 55th further buried down BVB's chances of a comeback.
Aubameyang struck at the 86th to avoid a shutout and put his club on the board.
Meanwhile, Stuttgart continued its descent in the league table after suffering a horrible 0-4 defeat in the hands of bottom-three team Augsburg at their own home field of Mercedes-Benz Arena last Saturday, via Sports Mole.
Midfielder Alexander Esswein drew first blood at the 11th minute, which was followed up by an own goal from Die Roten defender Timo Baumgartl six minutes later. Two more goals from Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker and Koo Ja-cheol made it a four-goal haul for the visitors.
Dortmund is set to redeem themselves from their bitter defeat with a lopsided win against the struggling Stuttgart eleven.
The predicted result is a 2-0 bounce back win for Borussia Dortmund.
