"FC Bayern will be looking to cap off this year's DFB Cup campaign by lifting the trophy in the final against VfB Stuttgart On Saturday (20:00 CEST). The final marks the conclusion of an impressive season for the Munich side. Vincent Kompany 's team have won 45 of their 54 competitive matches this season (six draws, three defeats) - should they secure another victory, FCB would equal their club record in professional football. The record champions only ever celebrated as many successes in a single season during the 2012/13 treble-winning campaign."
"A 2-1 win in the Franz Beckenbauer Super Cup, plus 5-0 and 4-2 victories in the Bundesliga clashes in Stuttgart and Munich: the record against the Swabians so far bodes well for Saturday. Since Vincent Kompany took the helm at FCB, Bayern have actually won all five competitive matches against VfB. The last defeat against Stuttgart came in May 2024 away from home in the Bundesliga (3-1)."
"It means that overall, the record cup winners further cemented their dominance in the so-called Südschlager (battle of the south). Of the 131 competitive encounters against Stuttgart since the Bundesliga was founded, Bayern have won 87 (with 22 draws and 22 defeats) - meaning no other team in German professional football has recorded as many wins against a single club as FCB have against VfB."
"The record in the DFB Cup is also crystal clear: FC Bayern have won nine of their ten cup ties against Stuttgart to date. The two teams last met in the final 13 years ago, a match which the Bavarians, under Jupp Heynckes, won 3-2. The only exception was in November 1989, when VfB won 3-0 at home in the round of 16."
FC Bayern will play VfB Stuttgart in the DFB Cup final on Saturday at 20:00 CEST. The season has been highly successful, with Bayern winning 45 of 54 competitive matches, and another victory would equal the club’s professional football record set in 2012/13. Bayern’s recent results against Stuttgart include a 2-1 Super Cup win and Bundesliga wins of 5-0 and 4-2, with Bayern winning all five competitive matches since Vincent Kompany took charge. Historically, Bayern have won 87 of 131 competitive meetings with Stuttgart since the Bundesliga began, and they have won nine of ten DFB Cup ties. Bayern’s last DFB Cup final appearance was 13 years ago, when they won 3-2 under Jupp Heynckes.
