Bayern Munich to Face Holders Stuttgart in DFB-Pokal Final in Berlin
Bayern's record-chasing form makes them clear favorites over defending champions Stuttgart.
Overview
- Berlin hosts the cup final later this month, a fourth meeting this season after Bayern won the Super Cup and both league games against Stuttgart.
- Vincent Kompany’s side has 45 wins in 54 matches and a victory in the final would tie the club’s single-season record for wins set in 2012–13.
- Harry Kane leads the Bundesliga with 36 goals and the current cup with seven, while he and Stuttgart’s Deniz Undav each have nine DFB-Pokal goal contributions this season.
- Goalkeeper Manuel Neuer can match Bastian Schweinsteiger’s player record with a seventh DFB-Pokal winner’s medal if Bayern lift the trophy.
- Stuttgart return as cup holders after edging Eintracht Braunschweig on penalties and then knocking out Mainz, Bochum, Holstein Kiel, and Freiburg.
