Guirassy returns to MHPArena as Dortmund face Stuttgart
The return of Serhou Guirassy to the MHPArena provides the narrative focal point for this weekend's clash, as the prolific forward leads the Borussia Dortmund attack against his former club. The Bundesliga matchday 4 encounter kicks off on Saturday, 19 September 2026, at 18:30 CET, with both sides looking to establish early momentum in the table.
A familiar face in the visitors' ranks
Serhou Guirassy arrives in Stuttgart as the primary threat for Borussia Dortmund, having demonstrated clinical form with five goals in his last nine appearances. His presence in the expected starting XI alongside Fabio Silva will test a Stuttgart defensive unit that has shown vulnerability in recent outings, notably in their 2-1 defeat to Hoffenheim last week. For the hosts, the challenge is to contain a Dortmund side that has shown significant attacking fluidity during their current unbeaten run in the Bundesliga.
Tactical adjustments for the hosts
VfB Stuttgart head into this fixture aiming to bounce back from their recent league setback, relying on the creative spark of Chris Fuehrich and the forward presence of Deniz Undav. The expected lineup features a back four led by Maximilian Mittelstaedt and Jeff Chabot, who will need to maintain high concentration to stifle the visitors' quick transitions. Managerial decisions will be complicated by the absence of Angelo Stiller and Tiago Tomas, forcing the home side to reconfigure their midfield balance.
Dortmund's momentum and defensive stability
Borussia Dortmund have enjoyed a strong start to the campaign, evidenced by a 3-0 victory over Paderborn and a hard-fought 3-2 win against Villarreal in the Champions League. With Nico Schlotterbeck and Waldemar Anton anchoring the defence in front of Gregor Kobel, the team has shown a resilience that was missing in earlier stages of the calendar year. The visitors will look to build on their recent success, including a 3-2 win at Hoffenheim, to maintain their position near the top of the standings.
Recent history between the two sides
Matches between these two clubs have frequently produced high-scoring affairs and dramatic moments in recent seasons. While Dortmund secured a 2-0 win at the MHPArena back in April 2026, the history of this fixture includes a memorable 5-1 victory for Stuttgart in September 2024. Both teams have shown they are capable of finding the net, and with the attacking talent on display, the tactical battle in the middle of the park will likely determine which side controls the tempo.
Personnel availability and team news
Both squads are managing significant fitness concerns as they navigate a busy early-season schedule. Stuttgart will be without the services of Angelo Stiller and Tiago Tomas, while Borussia Dortmund must cope without the injured Konstantinos Karetsas and Filippo Mane. The expected lineups suggest both managers are opting for stability, trusting their core groups to execute their respective game plans in what promises to be a high-intensity Bundesliga tie.
