Kaiserslautern vs VfB Stuttgart Prediction & Betting tips
VfB Stuttgart plays in the second round of the DFB Pokal against FC Kaiserslautern, a team from the second league. Stuttgart has hitherto been in competition competitions on foreign soil so far. Do they book well in a cup?
Kaiserslautern :
Kaiserslautern is a big name in German football. The club became four times champion of Germany in his history. The last of those titles, in the 1997/98 season, was a remarkable one. Those Roots Teufel became international champion immediately after promotion, something no other team ever performed (even though RB Leipzig came close last year).
In the last decade, Kaiserslautern is mainly in the 2nd Bundesliga. Following the degradation of the Bundesliga in 2012, FCK was hoping for promotion a couple of times. Yet there is a breakdown going on. It was played in the middle for a couple of years, and this year it is even worse. Kaiserslautern is at the very bottom.
The competition thus appears to be a priority in Kaiserslautern, though trainer Jeff Strasser did not want to let this cup match run. “The DFB Pokal is a bout contest, which we want to approach positively,” said Strasser. The trainer indicated where his team should improve. “We must try to prevent individual mistakes against Stuttgart.”
VfB Stuttgart :
VfB Stuttgart did not succeed in his fifth match in the Bundesliga on Saturday to achieve a result. For the fifth time since the promotion, it was lost. Again the defeat was not high – Leipzig was 1-0 too strong for Der VfB. Stuttgart was not much less than Leipzig, which really had an offday. If Stuttgart had become more self-conscious, a result would certainly not have been unthinkable. Even now, in the second half, they came close to the equalizer a few times. Thus Takuma Asano hit the pole.
Also in the DFB Pokal Stuttgart failed to win in ninety minutes. In the first round, Energie Cottbus, currently outstanding in the Regionalliga, was the opponent. Stuttgart quickly hit a 2-0 deficit, but managed to return to 2-2. In the penalty shootout the South Germans dropped off with Cottbus. In the league Stuttgart plays a home match against SC Freiburg on Sunday. Maybe Chef trainer Hannes Wolf is going to rotate here and there.
