Full-time: Dortmund 3-3 Stuttgart

Where to start? A quite breathless encounter at Signal Iduna Park ends all square. Dortmund thought they had won it late on when Adeyemi poked home from close range. Fittingly though, perhaps, it was Undav who had the last laugh as the Stuttgart striker completed his hat-trick to earn the visitors a share of the spoils.

Distance to Goal

The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

Dortmund lead again!

Signal Iduna Park erupts! Adeyemi picks up the ball deep inside his own half, shrugs off Jeltsch's challenge and plays in Beier, who unselfishly plays the ball back to the winger inside the Stuttgart box. Adeyemi prods the ball past Nübel to restore Dortmund's advantage!

Undav off target

It's been a breathless start to the second period at Signal Iduna Park. Undav lets fly again from the edge of the area but his fizzing effort isn't troubling Kobel.

Brandt picks out the striker with a perfectly weighted pass, but the Guinean mistimes his run and after a VAR review, the goal is chalked off. It remains 2-1.

Visitors on top again

Dortmund have yet to find their feet in the second half. Stuttgart have the bit between their teeth as Undav tries his luck again, firing wide from the edge of the area.

Stuttgart back in it!

The visitors make a bright start to the second period and get their just rewards. Dortmund fail to clear a looping ball into the penalty area and Undav takes full advantage, hooking the ball over his shoulder and into the top corner with his right foot. A phenomenal finish from the VfB striker!

Perfect 10

Can has converted his last 10 Bundesliga penalties.

Half-time: Dortmund 2-0 Stuttgart

The home side had to soak up plenty of Stuttgart pressure in the early stages but head into the break with a thoroughly deserved two-goal lead. Can's penalty and Beier's close-range finish have left Hoeneß's charges with a mountain to climb.

Half-time

Dortmund want a third before half-time. Schlotterbeck surges forward from defence but his cross evades Guirassy inside the area and rolls out of play.

Dortmund more dangerous

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

The visitors may have shaded possession, but Borussia have been far more threatening in the final third.

Two-goal cushion!

Dortmund have their second! It's a brilliant move from the home side as Ryerson feeds Anton, who cuts the ball back for Guirassy on the edge of the box. The striker's shot is parried by Nübel, who does superbly to deny Beier on the follow-up. It's third-time lucky for BVB, though, as Beier prods home the loose ball to double their advantage.

Ball Recovery Time

Ball Recovery Time gives the time in seconds in which it takes a team to win back the ball following a loss of possession. It also allows conclusions to be drawn about a team's style of play. Only time when the ball is in play is counted (i.e. no breaks in play such as for goal-kicks, throw-ins etc).

Heavily involved

Leweling has been Stuttgart's best player in the opening stages of the first half. The winger is causing Dortmund all sorts of problems whenever the visitors come forward.

19'

Tomás lively

Brilliant play from Leweling, who races clear down the left and swings in a teasing cross which is flicked wide by Tomás. The Portuguese frontman is picked out by Stiller moments later but can't make space for the shot. Dortmund are living dangerously.

Level pegging

Still goalless at Signal Iduna Park, but both teams are playing some excellent football. Stuttgart have been particularly easy on the eye in the opening 18 minutes or so.

15'

Dortmund finding their groove

This is BVB's best spell of the game so far. Beier finds himself in a good position down the left but his cross is cut out by a Stuttgart defender. Bellingham's delivery moments later is also cleared to safety.

13'

Guirassy goes close

The former Stuttgart striker gets on the end of a cross from the left but can't quite direct his header on target. Better from the hosts.

No way through

Svensson dispossesses Leweling inside the Dortmund area but his clearance lands at the feet of Chema, whose floated cross is eventually headed behind by Beier. Borussia continue to be penned back at Signal Iduna Park.

Nice idea

Stiller tries to feed Assignon down the right-hand side but the midfielder overhits his pass and the ball rolls behind for a Dortmund goal-kick.

Dortmund can't get out

The home side win possession deep inside their own half but are unable to make the most of the counter-attacking opportunity. Stuttgart regroup and quickly regain possession.

Early opportunity

Stuttgart are awarded a free-kick after Schlotterbeck upends El Khannouss on the edge of the Dortmund area. The visitors try to take it quickly but BVB are alert to the danger.

Visitors seeing plenty of the ball

Dortmund have picked up nine wins and a draw since their last defeat on home soil - a 1-0 loss to Augsburg back in March. Stuttgart have started brightly here, though.

Off we go!

The visitors get proceedings under way in Dortmund.

Kick-off!

Neck and neck

Only goal difference separates these two teams going into Matchday 11, with third-placed Dortmund sitting just above Stuttgart in fourth. Leipzig are the only side to take points off Borussia at Signal Iduna Park this season - how will VfB fare this afternoon?

BVB have come a long way

Kovač's first game in charge of Dortmund was a 2-1 home defeat to Stuttgart back in February. Since then, Borussia have picked up 49 points from 24 league matches (W15 D4 L4) – only Bayern have collected more in that time.

More on those teams

Kovač makes two changes to the Dortmund side that started the 1-1 draw at Hamburg before the international break, with Brandt (pictured) and Nmecha replacing Groß and Svensson. Hoeneß, meanwhile, makes three alterations to the Stuttgart team that beat Augsburg 3-2, as Tomás, Chema and Chabot come in for Bouanani, Karazor and Zagadou.

Niko Kovač on facing Stuttgart

“After six away games in our last seven, we're finally playing in front of our fans again. We know what we have to do this weekend. We are very self-critical and we need to improve going forward. That includes all the guys.”

Sebastian Hoeneß on facing Dortmund

"Playing in Dortmund is simply very demanding and one of the most difficult tasks there is. Against BVB, you have to be 100 percent fit in every position. We ourselves need to be efficient and take the chances when we get them. We're looking forward to the game, it's a top match."

Expect goals

Historically, only Bundesliga meetings between Bayern Munich and Werder Bremen have produced more goals (375) than the Dortmund vs. Stuttgart fixture (373).

2:03

Previous meeting: Dortmund 1-2 Stuttgart

Waldemar Anton scored an own goal before Jeff Chabot doubled VfB's lead at the Signal Iduna Park when the teams last met, in February earlier this year. Dortmund were unable to find an equaliser, despite Julian Brandt's late goal.

2:03

Hamburg 1-1 Borussia Dortmund - highlights

Dortmund missed the chance to close the gap on Bayern to five points after conceding a late equaliser in Hamburg on Matchday 10. Although third - level on points with Stuttgart and with only one league defeat to their names so far this term - BVB have won just two of their last five top-flight fixtures.

2:03

VfB Stuttgart 3-2 Augsburg - highlights

Deniz Undav scored twice as VfB Stuttgart came from behind to beat struggling Augsburg prior to the November international break. The DFB Cup holders, who have won six of their last seven league games, are fourth in the current standings - seven points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
