This DFB Pokal tie is worth watching because Paderborn are playing with confidence after taking a win in their latest league match, while VfB Stuttgart have just stumbled in the league and must go away in a cup where there is no second chance. Paderborn have 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss from their last five, and in their own league they have scored 6 and conceded 9 in 7 matches, but the latest 1-0 win was the picture of a team willing to defend and wait for their moment. VfB Stuttgart lost 2-3 in their latest league match and are without a win in 3 straight; the defence is clearly leaky when you look at the numbers of 10 scored and 13 conceded in 7 league matches. The measurable pattern over the last 10 matches says VfB Stuttgart have 57.6% possession and 5.6 shots on target per game, while Paderborn have 50.7% possession and 5.63 shots on target per game. The two teams create chances at a similar rate, but the home side tend to concede in the first half more often. If VfB Stuttgart can open up the game on the front foot as they like to, this one should have plenty of goals.
