DFB Cup 2023 quarter-finals: 1. FC Nürnberg vs. VfB Stuttgart – who will win?
In the DFB Cup 2023 quarter-finals between 1. FC Nürnberg and VfB Stuttgart, the first division team Stuttgart is the favourite. On the other hand, Nuremberg has to make up for a class difference and therefore starts as an outsider. Nuremberg is playing against a Bundesliga team for the first time this cup season. Furthermore, the weak form of Stuttgart must improve for a successful debut by coach Hoeneß.
The betting odds have Stuttgart as the favorite for an away win with a 1.72 – Nuremberg also has a 5.00 win odds. In the first 4 cup games between Stuttgart and Nuremberg, each team was able to win twice. In total, Stuttgart won 51 games against Nuremberg with 27 draws and 36 defeats.
How does Nuremberg play?
1. FC Nürnberg is not playing as well as it used to. The “Glubb” was a Bundesliga club for years (champion in 1968), DFB Cup winner in 2007 under Hans Meyer and is now playing in the 2nd division in 2022/23 against relegation. Board member Dieter Hecking has been Nuremberg’s interim coach since February 2023.
Probable line-up: Vindahl – Gyamerah, F. Hübner, Schindler, Brown – Geis – Castrop, Möller Daehli, Tempelmann, Nürnberger – Duah
How does Stuttgart play?
Things can only get better at VfB Stuttgart after Labbadia’s quick departure. The new coach Hoeneß has to do without Sosa and can otherwise draw on the full. VfB last played in a 4-3-3. However, Hoeneß likes to play 3-1-4-2.
Probable formation: Bredlow – Anton, Mavropanos, Zagadou, Ito – W. Endo – Haraguchi, Millot – Vagnoman, Führich – Perea
DFB Cup 2023 quarter-finals: RB Leipzig vs. Borussia Dortmund – who will win?
The DFB-Pokal 2023 quarter-finals RB Leipzig vs. Borussia Dortmund would be the top game fifth vs. second in the Bundesliga. However, the teams suffered a defeat on the last matchday – today’s cup game is a great opportunity to reverse the trend. In Leipzig, however, the alarm bells are ringing a little louder after 3 defeats in a row. BVB wants to maintain the title chance in the cup.
The betting odds are fairly balanced with 2.25 for Leipzig and 2.90 for BVB. BVB won the only cup game in the 2021 final 4-1. Overall, BVB has 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 defeats against RBL.
How does Leipzig play?
RB coach Marco Rose saw a team in the Bundesliga against Mainz that was “inferior in almost every respect”. The team meeting that followed was intended to prepare for the difficult cup game against Dortmund. However, captain Gulacsi and goalgetter Nkunku are still missing.
Expected line-up: Blaswich – Henrichs, Orban, Gvardiol, Raum – Laimer, A. Haidara – Szoboszlai, Dani Olmo – Silva, Werner
How does Dortmund play?
Dortmund suffered their first Bundesliga defeat of 2023 at the weekend. However, BVB had some bad luck with the mistake of returnee Kobel in goal. Furthermore, Terzic’s starting eleven is well-rehearsed, there are only changes in the center forward – Schlotterbeck is injured.
Probable line-up: Kobel – M. Wolf, Süle, Hummels, Guerreiro – Can – Bellingham, Reus – Malen, Brandt – Moukoko
