- 5' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both VfB Stuttgart and Borussia Dortmund are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
- 10' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Chema Andres suffering a number of foals already.
- 15' Borussia Dortmund looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Maximilian Beier scoring 1 goals.
