Dortmund releases the next cracker on the competition!
Tuesday at the cup round of 16 in Bremen (8.45pm; ARD and Sky), new signing Emre Can (26) is part of the BVB squad for the first time. It is quite possible that coach Lucien Favre will let him play.
After super striker Erling Haaland (19, 7 goals in 3 games), the ex-Juve star is the second top-class commitment this winter.
Meanwhile, the sporting signs between the two clubs could hardly be more different. While Dortmund in the league blows to attack the top of the table and hurries from victory to victory, Werder is in a mega crisis. After the 1: 2 in Augsburg, the team of trainer Florian Kohfeldt is still on the relegation site.
But be careful, BVB! Almost exactly a year ago, the two teams also met in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup. Werder won IN Dortmund after penalties, then failed in the semi-finals to Bayern.
Leipzig wants revenge in Frankfurt
The Bundesliga duel between Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig (Sport1 and Sky) is already in focus at 6.30 p.m. This duel only took place on January 25 – the Hessians won 2-0.
Now Leipzig wants revenge!
“The cup game is very important to us. The boys and the entire club had a great experience with the final last season – of course we want to go back there, ”said RB coach Julian Nagelsmann.
There will be an even faster reunion at 8.30pm when Schalke 04 receives Hertha BSC (Sky). In the Bundesliga duel there were no goals recently and a yawning boring game. This time gates will inevitably fall.
Hertha wants to move into the quarter-finals for the first time in four years in order to come one step closer to the dream of the final in their own stadium.
The first part of the round of 16 will be completed – the other four games will take place on Wednesday – with the game between third division Kaiserslautern and Fortuna Düsseldorf (6.30 p.m., Sky). You can also follow all games as usual in the BILD live ticker.
