Bayern Munich vs VFB Stuttgart: DFB-Pokal Final 2026 preview
Bayern Munich's domination of the Bundesliga makes it hard to believe that they have not won the DFB-Pokal for six years, but the Bavarian giants are experiencing something of a trophy drought in this competition.
Vincent Kompany's side are chasing the club's first German Cup since they beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 in 2020 on the way to the Treble, and although they fell short in the Champions League this time around, they have enjoyed an incredible season nonetheless.
Bayern scored a simply absurd 122 goals in 34 Bundesliga games as they retained their league title, with the front three of Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz finding the net 96 times between them in all competitions.
Kane has scored 58 goals alone – in just 50 games – in a record-breaking season for the England captain, and he will want to add one or two more in Bayern colours before turning his attention to the 2026 World Cup.

VFB Stuttgart have become cup specialists in the past two seasons and they will be dreaming of extending an 11-game winning run in this competition, which has carried them to two successive finals.
Sebastian Hoeness's side didn't rest on their laurels after beating Arminia Bielefeld 12 months ago to claim their first major silverware since 2007, with this campaign arguably even better than the previous one. Stuttgart finished fourth in the Bundesliga to qualify for the Champions League, while they enjoyed a creditable run to the last 16 of the Europa League.
Now, they just have to beat the best team in the country to cap it all off. That could be extra daunting for a side who have not had to overcome anyone better than seventh-placed Freiburg in their run to the final.
Hoeness has already enjoyed a hugely successful three years at Stuttgart, but retaining the DFB-Pokal against Bayern would perhaps be his most eye-catching achievement yet.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Bayern Munich 3-1 VFB Stuttgart
Bayern are on fire, so it is difficult to see Stuttgart outscoring them here.
