Dynamo Dresden host Stuttgart in the first round of the DFB-Pokal on Friday.

Dynamo Dresden will be competing in the third tier of German football after suffering relegation last season, while Stuttgart narrowly preserved their Bundesliga status.

Since being relegated from the Bundesliga in 1995, Dynamo Dresden have regularly drifted between the second and fourth tiers of German football, having won the third division as recently as 2021.

That will once again be their primary aim this season, although a cup run can never be viewed as a bad thing for any club in any division.

Since reaching the semi-final of the 1994 DFB Pokal, when they were defeated 2-0 by eventual champions Werder Bremen, Dynamo Dresden have only twice made it beyond the second round.

Being drawn against Bundesliga opposition, albeit at home, does not improve their chances of ending that run this campaign.

However, with their season already beginning after a pulsating 4-3 defeat to 1860 Munich at the weekend, Markus Anfang will be hoping that his side can catch Stuttgart cold in their opponents' first competitive match of the campaign.

However, Stuttgart have looked much improved in pre-season, winning all four of their matches against Boblingen, FC Zurich, Brentford and Valencia, scoring 17 goals overall.

The 5-2 win against Valencia last weekend did not resemble a friendly, either, with plenty of heavy tackles going in from both teams. Silas was in inspired form, scoring and assisting either side of half time, with Darko Churlinov and Tiago Tomas both getting themselves on the scoresheet too.

Coming from an excellent pre-season, Stuttgart should raise their level of play even more, not offering chances to the opponent and getting the classification.

Probable scores here are 1-3 1-4

Marco Antonio,

GL!

周五，德累斯顿迪纳摩主场迎战斯图加特。

德累斯顿迪纳摩在经历了上赛季的降级后将在德国足球的第三级联赛中竞争，而斯图加特勉强保住了他们的德甲地位。

自1995年从德甲降级以来，德累斯顿迪纳摩一直徘徊在德国足球的二、四级之间，最近的一次是在2021年赢得了三级联赛的冠军。

这将再次成为他们本赛季的首要目标，尽管对任何联赛的任何俱乐部来说，参加杯赛都不会被视为坏事。

1994年，德累斯顿迪纳摩队在半决赛中被最终的冠军云达不莱梅以0 - 2击败，自那以后，德累斯顿迪纳摩队只有两次进入第二轮。

虽然是在主场被德甲对手逼平，但这并没有增加他们结束这一赛季的机会。

然而，在周末以4-3输给慕尼黑1860之后，本赛季已经开始了，马库斯·安方希望他的球队能够在斯图加特本赛季的第一场比赛中赶上对手。

然而，斯图加特在季前赛中看起来有了很大的进步，他们赢下了对Boblingen, FC Zurich, Brentford和Valencia的四场比赛，总共打进了17球。

上周末5-2战胜瓦伦西亚的比赛也不像一场友谊赛，两队都有大量的抢断。赛拉斯状态很好，在半场结束时为双方进球和助攻，丘利诺夫和蒂亚戈托马斯也都进球了。

来自一个出色的季前赛，斯图加特应该提高他们的比赛水平，而不是给对手提供机会，从而获得排名。

预测比分1:3或1:4。
