Arminia Bielefeld-VFB STUTTGART  "2"

German Cup Final in Berlin. Surprising Finalist Arminia Bielefeld took out Top Favo Bayer Leverkusen at Home 2-1 and is THE underdog in Berlin Olympiastadion versus CL Team participant and last years Bundeliga Runner-Up VFB STUTTGART. Bielefeld won the Championship in 3.Liga and promoted to 2. Bundesliga for next season. After a fantastic season last year VFB struggeled this season, especially at home, finishing the Liga only at place 9, missing the international qualification throiugh the Liga, BUT with a WIN of the DFB-POKAL they would qualify for the EUROPA LEAGUE and they will. VFB knew already for some weeks that they will not qualify through the Liga for international affairs, they looked flat at times, like the disappointing Home loss to Heidenheim (0-1), BUT after that they started their preparation for this moment and come with momentum to Berlin. 3 WINS to end the Bundesliga season (1-0 at ST. PAULI, similar playing style like BIELEFELD, 4-0 versus Augsburg, also very organized and defensive minded and last week 3-2 at RB Leipzig) VFB is a very fine soccer playing squad, questionable if national player Stiller will be back from injury in time, BUT they have a lot of offensive options woth WOLTEMADE,UNDAV returning to form, MILLOT,FÜHRICH and more. Bielefeld WON the 3.Liga with a great defense and organisation and not needing much chances to score. After their big coup in the Semis versus Leverkusen, Bielefeld went in the 3.Liga 7W and 1D to finish the LIga. The DRAW was against co-promoted Dynamo Dresden 1-1 where they scored late in injury time to safe the points. At already relegated Unterhaching they won 2-1 only and last Match Day versus medicore Waldhof 1-0. Bielefeld will try to park the bus and have a 0-0 as long as possible and lurking for that moment to shine. VFB will attack with sense and cool head, they will get their chances and I expect them to score 2-3 goals to WIN a tricky Match and lift the trophy. Experience and squad speaks clear language for VFB and they will be patient knowing maybe even 1 goal makes the difference and they need to score first. Good omen, last time those 2 teams met was in 2022 also in DFB-Cup: VFB won 6-0, this time most likely it will not be that clear, BUT VFB STUTTGART will WIN this one in 90 minutes......
