Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Paderborn
Match Time & Date:
31/01/2023
12:00 PM
Prediction: 1-1
Stuttgart
A spot in the DFB Pokal quarter-finals will be at stake when Paderborn and Stuttgart face each other at Home Deluxe Arena. Paderborn kicked off 2023 in style, with the team beating Karlsruher thanks to Robert Leipertz’s goal, and we are positive that the 29-year-old forward will make life difficult for Stuttgart defenders as well. Felix Platte remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Die Schwaben, on the other hand, failed to spoil Leipzig’s party at Red Bull Arena, but they are surely capable of matching Paderborn in the German Cup last 16. Anyhow, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw as Lukas Kwasniok’s men are tough to beat at home. As for the Bundesliga side, Naouirou Ahamada is back from suspension, while all Tomas, Sosa, Silas, Mavropanos, and Zagadou should miss out with injuries.
