If VfB Stuttgart succeed in changing their game slightly, they will be able to claim for the high positions in the Bundesliga table after the season’s ending. Still, the team currently occupies only the 14th place in the standings. “Die Schwaben” are not considered to be a serious opponent at away fields for the most clubs of the German elite division. VfB Stuttgart also show a little bit inconsistent play in this season’s DFB Pokal: the side has hardly managed to break Energie Cottbus with 3:2 scoreline on the 1/32 stage plus got 3:1 triumph over Kaiserslautern on the 1/16 stage.
VfB Stuttgart deserved just two victories at 1. FSV Mainz 05 pitch and both of them happened in 2005. At the moment both sides stay in the tremendously poor shape and promotion to the DFB Pokal quarter-finals will be a great achievement for them. Therefore, none of the rivals will take a risk in the upcoming fight which means that not many goals will be scored in it.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
