How good is VfB Stuttgart's current form?
In the next section of our football predictions, we look at the favorites from the 1st Bundesliga. VfB Stuttgart were unable to build on their brilliant last season in 2023/24. The Swabians finished in ninth place with 50 points. They missed out on an international competition by two points - Mainz 05, in sixth place, collected 52 points. The decisive factor was probably the black streak in the home games, when VfB lost six times in a row at home. In total, the MHP Arena has seen eight defeats in 17 home games. The fact that the cup final will take place in Berlin's Olympic Stadium will therefore not particularly annoy Stuttgart.
