Holstein vs Stuttgart Prediction: match preview, predicted lineups, tips & odds on February 4, 2026
DFB-Pokal Germany

Our Prediction for Holstein vs Stuttgart
The club from Kiel made its Bundesliga debut last season, but finished second to last, collecting the same 25 points as fellow relegated side Bochum. Now, they are trying to improve at least in the second division, but too many points were lost in the first half of the season. Even now, after a draw with Arminia, they lost to Greuther Fürth.
The team from the "MHP Arena" won the cup in the previous campaign. This compensated for their failures in the Bundesliga and Champions League. The Germans also managed to advance to the Europa League, finishing with another win, 3-2. Domestically, they are clearly contending for third place, though competition is fierce. This made their recent win against Freiburg especially important.
Rapp's side knocked out Homburg in the summer cup round. After that, they faced tougher opponents: first defeating Wolfsburg, then overcoming Hamburg on penalties – all away games. The title holders, in their opening match in Braunschweig, nearly crashed out, but after a 4-4 draw, they squeezed past local side Eintracht. Their path then got easier – beating Mainz and Bochum consecutively, both by 2-0.
