Arminia Bielefeld are aiming to pull of what would be one of the greatest underdog cup wins in recent history against Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal final.
The third division side have gained promotion back to the 2. Bundesliga after a two year absence and are looking to add a first DFB-Pokal to their trophy haul this season. On route to the final they have beaten four Bundesliga teams, including last seasons winners Bayer Leverkusen.
Stuttgart are aiming to rescue what has been a underwhelming season after finishing second the campaign previous. Their ninth place finish is not enough for a second consecutive season of European football, meaning winning the cup on Saturday is their only route in.
