Holstein Kiel-VFB STUTTGART    (won)

                                     Holstein Kiel-VFB STUTTGART    "2"

VFB the defending DFB-Pokal-Winner is excited to return to Berlin once again to defend the title. They will take this QF road Match in Germanys North at KIEL very serious, even though it is highly anticipated that Coach Hoeneß will rotate once more, BUT VFB has a very deep squad and HOLSTEIN in Liga 2 only 4 points up before relegation places not coming with a ton of confidence. KIEL lost last week at home to also lowly Greuther Fürth (1-2) showing that they have a lot of issues. Their main focus must be staying in Liga 2 and upcoming Liga-Match at Hannover 96 where another loss could drag them even more into existence fighting for staying in the Liga. KIEL will be giving a good fight today, no doubt, still the differences in quality are way too high and VFB will not underestimate the Störche. VFB with a lot offensive firepower with UNDAV,LEWELING,FÜHRICH and Sundays Matchwinner in Buli versus Freiburg DEMIROVIC. Just to name some of the names and even the offensive players on the bench can make a difference anytime.  VFB will be ready from kick-off and knowing that on the road they- of course versus better opoonents- had issues in EL with L at Basel,Febnerbahce and AS Roma where they played great offensive soccer, creating many high quality chances and just forgot to reward themselves. In DFB-Cup they have a run and this run will be continuing with VFB STUTTGART AWAY WIN to book their place in SF.....
