Paderborn vs VFB Stuttgart Prediction and Betting Tips | January 31st 2023

Paderborn and VFB Stuttgart will go head-to-head at the Home Deluxe Arena for a place in the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal on Tuesday.

Having failed to win their last three Bundesliga matches, the visitors will be hoping victory here can serve as a springboard for an upturn in form.

Paderborn returned to winning ways in the 2. Bundesliga as they saw off Kalruaher 1-0 away from home last Friday.

Prior to that, they were on a four-game losing streak in the German second tier and had managed just one point from a possible 15.

Paderborn will look to build on last week’s result as they turn their attention to the DFB Pokal, where they edged out Einheit Wernigerode and Werder Bremen in the opening two rounds.

Meanwhile, Stuttgart kicked off their Cup run with a 1-0 victory over Dynamo Dresden on July 29 before brushing aside Arminia Bielefeld 6-0 in the next round three months later.

However, the Bundesliga side have struggled for form in recent weeks and head into the midweek contest without a win in four straight matches, losing twice and claiming two draws in that time.

Stuttgart were last in action on Friday when they suffered a 2-1 loss against Leipzig in the Bundesliga, where they are currently 15th with 16 points from 18 matches.
