After disappointing their fans with poor results in the league this season, German football's heavyweights Borussia Dortmund will play an away game against Stuttgart in Bundesliga Friday.
The match at Mercedes-Benz Arena will kick off at 20:30 CET (1930 GMT).
It seems that Borussia Dortmund managed to save itself from the relegation zone after two wins in the league in the past two weeks.
Dortmund's opponents, Stuttgart are in last place.
Meanwhile, league leaders Bayern Munich will be hosted by Paderborn on Saturday. The Bavarian giants are rampant this season, especially after the "Die Bayern" team beat Hamburg 8-0 last Saturday. The match will begin at 15:30 CET (1430 GMT).
Bayern Munich regulars, Spanish defensive midfielder Javi Martinez, German full-back and team captain Philipp Lahm and Spanish central midfielder Thiago Alcantara are still out because of injuries.
