Arminia - Stuttgart: betting tip and bets with odds of 4.40

Current form

Arminia plays in the third Bundesliga and obviously few people could have predicted that a modest team would make it to the final of the German Cup. Nevertheless, the team was pleasantly surprised, not only in the Cup, but also in the championship. Following the results of the tournament, Michel Kniath's team took first place and won a direct ticket to the second Bundesliga. The defensive game deserves special attention in the national championship – only 36 goals conceded in 38 matches, on average less than a goal per match. In many ways, due to clear actions in defense, the team went for a class upgrade. Arminia has not lost in the last 11 matches in the third Bundesliga.

In the German Cup since 2001, there has never been a representative of the third division in the final. But such statistics did not frighten the Bielefeld residents at all. According to the tournament bracket, they won five times in regular time, and in four cases they beat representatives of the main Bundesliga.

The last matches in the Cup were not easy for Arminia. Of course, the fact that the team played the quarterfinals and semifinals on their own field also played a role. Werder and Bayer were defeated with the same score 2:1. Moreover, Leverkusen had to fight back, which they managed to do in the first half, and then Michel Kniath's team successfully held off the attacks of their superior opponent for the entire second half.

Disqualifications and injuries

Due to injuries, Uldrikis and Bujellab will not play in the Cup final today.

Current form

Stuttgart, quite predictably, has slowed down after all its successes last year. Nevertheless, the squad underwent decent changes in the offseason, and in general, the team was not ready to perform equally consistently in all tournaments where it took part. As a result, it was not possible to make it to the playoffs in the Champions League, and in the Bundesliga, due to frequent slumps, it became clear long before the finish that it would not be possible to compete for European Cup places at all, let alone the Champions League. Thus, the national Cup remained a priority.

In the German Cup, Sebastian Hoeness's team quite expectedly overcame the resistance of rivals from the lower divisions in the first three rounds. Only in the 1/4 finals were the opponents of the first representative of the Bundesliga Augsburg, who, in his usual style, relied on defense, but Stuttgart managed to achieve a minimal victory (1-0). In the semifinals there was a confrontation with Leipzig. The Swabian attack has already come to the fore (3:1). Thus, the team made it to the finals for the first time since 2013. And Stuttgart's last German Cup victory dates back to 1997.

In the Bundesliga, the Swabians had a three-game winning streak at the very end. However, these successes did not bring much joy, as Stuttgart finished only in ninth place.

Disqualifications and injuries

Stuttgart will not have Gadado, Raimund, Schays, Toure, Wagnman and Millo in the final.

Interesting betting trends

• Stuttgart is approaching the upcoming match on a three-match winning streak
• At least three goals have been scored in five of Stuttgart's previous six cup matches.
• Stuttgart has 12 wins in the last 14 matches in the German Cup.

Approximate composition: Nübel, Hakes, Chabot, Hendricks, Wagnoman, Mittelstadt, Carazor, Millau, Voltemade, Demirovich, Undav.
