Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
A spot in the DFB Pokal final will be at stake when Freiburg and Leipzig face each other at Europa-Park Stadion on Tuesday evening. Christian Streich’s troops are on a three-game winning run in the Bundesliga, but they face a difficult task in the German Cup clash. Midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh remains on the sidelines with an ACL injury, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, with the team beating Hoffenheim thanks to Christopher Nkunku’s goal. Freiburg, though, are tough to beat at home and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Andre Silva is pushing for a start, while Amadou Haidara is back from suspension. Both Xaver Schlager and Peter Gulacsi remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Timo Werner):
Timo Werner is a German starlet, who began his senior career at Vfb Stuttgart. The German forward, who was born in Stuttgart on March 6, 1996, scored 13 goals in 95 appearances in the league for Die Schwaben and in 2016 he moved to fellow Bundesliga side Leipzig and he impressed with the Red Bulls in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign, scoring 21 goals in the process.
To make things even better for the talented attacker, he represented Germany at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and it has to be noted that he provided an assist for Lars Stindl in the title game. Despite the fact that coach Joachim Low rested star players at the tournament in Russia, the Germans eventually won the trophy.
Timo Werner played for the Germany U17 team as well and he won the silver medal with die Mannschaft at the 2012 UEFA European Championship. His main position is centre forward, but he is used as a winger as well. Timo Werner’s contract with Leipzig should expire on June 30, 2020.
