Stuttgart vs Union Berlin Odds
Stuttgart Team News
Last season, Stuttgart narrowly avoided relegation from the Bundesliga, defeating Hamburger SV in the playoffs with an aggregate score of 6-1 from the two-legged tie.
However, team of Sebastian Hoeness has been playing fantastically from the beginning of the new competitive year, currently holding the third position in the German league table with 21 points after nine matches, just four points behind the leading Bayer Leverkusen.
Despite a 3-2 defeat at home against Hoffenheim in the previous round, Stuttgart secured victories in the previous six league matches, scoring an impressive 19 goals during that period, while conceding only three.
Although cup competitions can yield unexpected outcomes, considering the significant difference in quality between these two teams over the last two months, it is difficult to expect anything other than a home team triumph.

Union Berlin Team News
On the other hand, Union Berlin is nothing like the team that finished fourth in the Bundesliga last season. After nine matches played, they occupy the 15th position in the table with just six points, with only one point currently separating them from the relegation zone. On Saturday, they lost to Werder in Bremen by a score of 2-0, marking their tenth consecutive defeat in all competitions for the Berlin team.
Union had the best defense in the league last season alongside Bayern Munich, but their defensive performances this competitive year have been very poor. Out of 13 matches played, they have kept a clean sheet only once, back in mid-August in the DFB Pokal when they defeated Walldorf away with a 4-0 scoreline. It is difficult to believe that they can secure a place in the 1/8-finals against Stuttgart, who are in excellent form.
