Stuttgart will compete with Union Berlin as part of the 1/16 finals of the DFB Pokal. The match will take place at MHPArena on Tuesday, October 31, and will start at 18:00 CET.
Stuttgart
Stuttgart, if we take into account the previous season, finished in 16th place in the Bundesliga, which forced it to play the play-off matches against the 2. Bundesliga bronze medallists, Hamburger, in June. Then “the Swabians” were able to take an easy victory over their opponent, scoring 3 goals in each match and conceding only once. The success in that confrontation allowed Stuttgart to stay in the Bundesliga for at least one more season.
Over the past year, the club has replaced its head coach 3 times; Sebastian Hoeneß currently leads the team. Being under his leadership, Stuttgart retained its residence in the top division of Germany, and the new season started in a pretty fine way – there happened 7 victories in 9 matches, losing only to the current Champions League participant and bronze medallist of the previous competition, RB Leipzig, and, at this weekend, to Hoffenheim.
Union Berlin
Speaking about the previous season, the team finished in 4th place, which gave it the right to make the debut in the Champions League, where Union has already suffered 3 disappointing defeats. First, the German club lost to Real Madrid due to a goal in the 94th minute of the game, and then lost to Portuguese Braga for the same reason. As for the previous match, Union lost at the home arena to Napoli.
The things aren’t going well in the regular championship either. Having got 2 victories at the very beginning, Union lost all other matches and is now in 15th place. And the team defeated Walldorf (4-0) in the previous round of the DFB Pokal.
Interesting facts and the statistics of head-to-head matches
• Stuttgart has scored in 23 matches in a row. The previous time “the Swabians” left the field without scoring a goal was back in April, in the battle against Union.
• The team from the capital of Germany has already lost 10 matches in a row.

Prediction
Stuttgart is the favourite of the following battle as well. Union is in such disgusting playing shape, “the Swabians” are obliged to take advantage of this and advance to the next round.
