-------------------------------------
Eintracht Braunschweig
Eintracht Braunschweig, coached by Heiner Backhaus, is a 2. Bundesliga side currently 6th with 6 points after two wins (Magdeburg, Fürth) and a 2-0 loss to Karlsruhe on August 23, 2025. Their recent form includes two wins, one draw, and two losses in five competitive matches, averaging 1.4 goals scored and 1.1 conceded, as noted in. Key players include Erencan Yardımcı (1 goal), Levente Szabó, and Mehmet Aydin, with a probable 3-4-3 lineup: Hoffmann; Frenkert, Köhler (c), Breunig; Aydin, Marie, Heußer, Sanchez; Szabó, Yardımcı, Conteh. Strengths include their early season momentum and home support, with a passionate fan base known for creating an intense atmosphere. However, injuries to Lino Tempelmann (ankle), Frederik Jäkel (leg), Krauße (muscle), and Raebiger (knee) are significant concerns. They narrowly avoided relegation to the 3. Liga last season via a 4-2 aggregate play-off win over Saarbrücken, highlighting their resilience. Braunschweig aim to cause a cup upset against the defending champions, leveraging their underdog mentality and counter-attacking threat.
VfB Stuttgart
VfB Stuttgart, led by Sebastian Hoeneß, is the reigning DFB-Pokal champion, having won 4-2 against Arminia Bielefeld in the 2024/25 final. They are 14th in the Bundesliga with 0 points after 2-1 losses to Bayern Munich (Supercup) and Union Berlin (league opener). Their recent form shows three wins and two losses in five matches, averaging 2.9 goals scored and 1.1 conceded, including a 6-0 friendly win over Toulouse. Key players include Nick Woltemade (5 cup goals last season), Deniz Undav, and Tiago Tomás, with a probable 4-2-3-1 lineup: Nübel; Assignon, Jeltsch, Chabot, Mittelstädt; Karazor (c), Stiller; Leweling, Undav, Tomás; Woltemade. Strengths include their attacking depth and cup pedigree (4-time winners, 10-2 record under Hoeneß in cup games), but injuries to Silas (foot), Leonidas Stergiou (ankle), Jeff Chabot (adductor, doubtful), Luca Jaquez (broken nose, doubtful), and Dan-Axel Zagadou (knee) weaken their defense. Stuttgart aim to defend their title and avoid a third straight loss, despite the challenging away atmosphere.
