Arminia Bielefeld vs Stuttgart prediction 24.05.2025 | DFB Pokal

• Competition: DFB Pokal
• Date: Saturday, 24th May 2025
• Kickoff: 19:00 UK / 20:00 CEST
• Venue: Olympiastadion (Berlin)

Arminia Bielefeld had a phenomenal 2024/25 season. In 3. Liga, they finished first and secured a comeback to the second level of German football. In the DFB Pokal, Mitch Kniat's team had an amazing run in which they knocked out four Bundesliga teams in a row, including Bayer Leverkusen in the semifinal. If Arminia Bielefeld wins on Saturday evening, that will be their first cup title in the club's history. 

Arminia Bielefeld are on a run of 12 games without defeat (10 wins, two draws). Last weekend, Kniat's team won 1-0 at home against Mannheim. Surprisingly, Arminia had many problems in the game against one of the weakest teams in the competition, but eventually secured the victory that was needed to clinch the 3. Liga title. 

Stuttgart didn't play well in the Bundesliga this season. They expected to be in contention for the Champions League spot, but eventually ended up only as a mid-table team. Winning the DFB Pokal on Saturday would certainly heal some wounds and secure Europa League football for Stuttgart in the next season. 

Stuttgart have played well in the last few weeks, winning the previous three games in a row. In the last match, Stuttgart won 3-2 on the road against RB Leipzig. The home side finished with an xG of only 1.14, while the guests had 2.42, so, unsurprisingly, Stuttgart secured another victory. 

Arminia Bielefeld vs Stuttgart pick: Stuttgart to win and cover AH -1 spread

Arminia Bielefeld was a giant killer in the cup this season. However, they slowed down lately as Arminia scored only four goals in the previous three matches. We should expect Stuttgart to dominate on Saturday evening and lift their first cup trophy since 1997.
