Stuttgart calls for Augsburg in the DFB Cup: Fight for the semi-finals!

In the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup, there is an exciting duel: VfB Stuttgart meets FC Augsburg. As Sportkrone.at reports, the team of coach Sebastian Hoeneß is aiming for a trend reversal after she suffered defeats in the last three games. After the recent 1-2 defeat against Borussia Mönchengladbach, in which Swabia showed a weak second half, the pressure in the home arena is particularly high. Stuttgart, which is still convincing at the beginning of the year, is now facing an unpleasant opponent who is good for surprises.

preparation of both teams

After a disappointing end in the Champions League against Paris Saint Germain, the motivation among the Stuttgarters is great to secure a place in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup. According to yahoo Sports , Ameen al-dakhil will also be absent, while Nick Woltemade is also questionable due to a disease. Meanwhile, the Anthony Rouault association has given up Rennais for 13 million euros, which could mess up personnel planning. With new talents like Luca Jaquez and Finn Jeltsch, Stuttgart hopes to strengthen the squad to prevail in this decisive phase of the season.

On the other hand, FC Augsburg has a solid form with four unbeaten games in the Bundesliga, including a late balance against St. Pauli. Augsburg's coach Jess Thorup said in a press conference that the goal was clear: "Our goal is to achieve the next round and we will do everything for it." Thorup's team is accompanied by 4,000 followers to Stuttgart, who are preparing for an exciting game. While some players like Yusuf Kabadayi and Mergin Berisha will not be available, Thorup can count on the support of his newly used goalkeeper Nediljko Labrović, who is supposed to provide a fresh wind in this cup round.
