Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
A spot in the DFB Pokal last 16 will be at stake when Freiburg and Hamburger SV lock horns at Europa-Park Stadion on Wednesday afternoon. Following back-to-back wins over Werder Bremen and Augsburg, Freiburg suffered a 3-1 loss to Leipzig at the weekend, but it is well known that they produce much better showings at home than on the travels. All Kenneth Schmidt, Manuel Gulde, Merlin Rohl, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh are sidelined with injuries for the home team.
Die Rothosen, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Elversberg. Considering that Freiburg have turned their Europa-Park-Stadion into a real fortress, we predict that the visitors will return home empty-handed. Jonas Meffert is available for selection as 2. Bundesliga red cards are not carried into the DFB Pokal, while all Silvan Hefti, Dennis Hadzikadunic, and Robert Glatzel are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Team (Freiburg):
