Even if not all participants have been determined yet: the round of 16 pairings of the DFB Cup were drawn on Sunday. Olympic ski jumping champion Sven Hannawald proved to be a lucky fairy, especially for the favorites.
Should FC Bayern win their game against Holstein Kiel, Darmstadt 98 will be another second division team in the round of 16.
Borussia Dortmund are also the clear favorites in the next round and receive Paderborn from the 2nd Bundesliga – Marco Reus agrees. “Paderborn is a must, we don’t need to talk about it. Getting ahead is a must,” said the BVB captain.
SPORT1 will broadcast a round of 16 match LIVE.
With RB Leipzig, another top club meets a second division team in their own stadium. At home it is against VfL Bochum.
Both FC Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen stopped playing their cup games shortly before Christmas. Because of the high stress on the top teams, a new game plan was created here. The games will not be rescheduled until after the draw: Leverkusen will face Eintracht Frankfurt on January 12, Bayern will play Holstein Kiel on January 13.
