Is the next big sensation in the quarter-finals of the DFB Cup? This coming Tuesday, the sporting friend Lotte meet before their own audience on Vizemeister and Champions League starter Borussia Dortmund. The roles are clearly distributed, but the sportsfriends have already often proved to be “giant kills” this season. The kick-off is on 14 March at 6:30 pm.
Sportfreunde Lotte
The athletes from Lotte are currently the only team still represented in the trophy, which is not to be found in the two highest class categories. An art piece that has not brought about a subclass club in the quarterfinale. Accordingly, the self-assurance of the third league should be large. In the league, they started with a surprising 1: 2 against Werder Bremen II in the backround. A curiosity, because in the first round of the Cup, the prosperity of the Hansestädter turned out to be a sensational 2: 1 victory. The successes against Wehenwiesbaden (3-0) and Rot-Weiß Erfurt (3-0) showed that they can also win in the league. Also the dressing-up for the Pokalhit was won against Hansa Rostock with 2-0, Chemnitz were also 3-0 and thus already on the strong 3rd table place. In addition to Werder Bremen, other top-class clubs in the cup contest were also old. In the round of the last sixteen, the formally strong 1860 Munich were deserved 2-0, before Bayer Leverkusen were eliminated 6: 5 after penalty shoot-outs. From Losglück can not be talked about with the sports friends, accordingly, one should also try to make the impossible possible against Dortmund. One can point to among other things on still balls, as well as the duel with the “lions” showed. Above all, Gerrit Nauber is a real weapon in this statistic with up to now four Saisontors. In addition, coach Ismail Atalan is relying on Saliou Sané’s new arrival. The striker scored two times against Erfurt.
Borussia Dortmund
The bids of the opponents can hardly be compared with one another. Borussia Dortmund is a clear favorite on Tuesday and is also aware of this role. An advantage for Dortmund: The surprise effect in the case of Lottes is somewhat weakened, especially since one after the victories of the third league over two Bundesliga competitors probably very conscientiously prepare for the sports friends. A disadvantage for the Borussia could be the fact that Coach Thomas Tuchel especially this year has a slope to the improvisational improvisation. Translated to: (Too) often the practice leader insists on young and inexperienced players, who often do not come to the edge especially with the often body-accented game of a third league. This was the last time in the league against Hertha from Berlin, who had to (unhappy) 1: 2. Before that, however, there were convincing victories against Benfiac in the Champions League (4-0) and against Leverkusen in the league (6-2). Even in the difficult away game against SC Freiburg, the weekend held 3-0 with the upper hand. Goalkeeper Aubameyang, who was relegated as a chance in the recent past, was able to convince the Portuguese with a hat trick and also beat Hertha. In addition, there is another against VFL Wolfsburg. Despite the defeat against the (home-grown) Berliners, one can be quite satisfied with the last show in Dortmund. Coach Tuchel will have to leave on Tuesday on Rode, Götze, Bender, Reus, Burmic and Sokratis. However, if he does not put too much strain on the rotary machine, his team should reach the semi-finals. However, the BVB’s last trophies were not as confident as they were, but they were still in the 16th and the 16th round after elimination. In addition, Dortmund has collected all season downpours abroad.
Betting forecast
It would be absolutely possible for the third league player to throw another “big” out of the competition. The task of Borussia Dortmund is, however, an unequally more difficult one than the one against 1860, especially as BVB has recently shown a strong rise. Accordingly, we assume that Lotte will fight bravely, but the success will end.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.55
