The German Cup final between Arminia and Stuttgart will take place on May 24 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin. Arminia vs. Stuttgart: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Arminia
Since 2001, no third division team has reached the German Cup final, and Arminia has never made it to this stage before. However, the Bielefeld side has deservedly reached the decisive match. Michel Kniat's team secured five victories in regular time, eliminating four Bundesliga teams, the last of which was the previous Cup winner, Bayer. Additionally, by defeating the Leverkusen side 2-1, the club extended their scoring streak in the national Cup to seven matches.
- Both teams scored in 5 of Arminia's last 7 German Cup games.
- In their last 6 matches in this tournament, the team has not conceded more than one goal.
- Arminia has scored at least two goals in 6 of their last 7 national Cup games.
Predicted lineup for Arminia (4-5-1)
Jonas Kersken – Maximilian Grosser, Leon Schneider, Louis Oppi, Felix Hagmann – Marius Wörl, Mael Corboz, Sam Francis Schreck, Stefano Russo, Noah Sarenren Bazee – Joel Grodowski.
Stuttgart
Sebastian Hoeneß's side also confidently navigated the previous stages of the tournament. Moreover, the victory in the semi-final against Leipzig (3-1) marked their eighth win in the last nine German Cup matches. Even in their only defeat in this stretch, Stuttgart managed to score, and their overall scoring streak in the national Cup has reached 14 games. Additionally, this is the third time in the 21st century that the team has reached the final of this tournament.
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of Stuttgart's last 6 German Cup matches.
- The club has won 12 of their last 14 matches in this tournament.
- In 6 of their last 7 national Cup games, the team scored at least twice.

Arminia vs. Stuttgart: Match Prediction
Bielefeld has had a very successful season. The team not only reached the German Cup final for the first time in their history but also secured promotion to the Second League by winning a lower division. At the end of the championship, Michel Kniat's side went on an 11-match unbeaten run (9 wins, 2 draws). The club's results in the national Cup are equally impressive: five consecutive victories. Moreover, during this stretch, Arminia defeated Freiburg, Werder, and Bayer, who finished higher in the Bundesliga than Stuttgart.
Sebastian Hoeneß's side could not replicate last season's results, finishing only ninth in the league table. They only reached this position thanks to three consecutive wins at the end of the tournament. Before this stretch, the club won just one of their last 10 Bundesliga matches (3 draws, 6 losses). In the national Cup, Stuttgart's path to the final was much easier than Arminia's.
Bielefeld has been toughened in this tournament, so they will approach the decisive match against another Bundesliga representative without any jitters. My prediction: Arminia with a handicap (+1.5)
