We have reached the 8th finals of the DFB Pokal and there are some interesting fixtures that will bring some diversity in the mid-week football action. Let’s take a look at those exciting upcoming clashes.
Hannover 96 welcome an opponent from the Bundesliga at their HDI-Arena this Wednesday.
The home side are experiencing difficulties in their local league but so far are doing a good job in the DFB Pokal. Mönchengladbach are also failing to keep up with the fast pace of Germany’s top-flight league, although, given the facts they are considered the favorites in the upcoming encounter.
Hansa Rostock visit another tough opponent from the Bundesliga in the face of RB Leipzig.
The Red Bulls are performing quite solidly in their local tournament and are just 2 points below top 6. Hansa Rostock are definitely the underdogs this week, given the poor results they are showing in 2.Bundesliga.
The in-form side of Hoffenheim host SC Freiburg at their WIRSOL Rhein-Neckar-Arena this Wednesday.
Both teams are showing good results so far which predicts a lot of intriguing situations in the upcoming 8th final. Hoffenheim are just 1 point above SC Freiburg in the standings of the Bundesliga and they have won their last match against the Breisgau Brazilians in December.
Union Berlin travel to face Hertha BSC in the East–West Berlin derby, this time in the DFB Pokal.
The away team recorded a victory in the previous derby between the two sides and will be eager to achieve a double over their city rivals. However, Hertha are undefeated in their last 6 home encounters and will do their best to continue that series.
