Prediction: 1-1
Borussia Dortmund
Following a shocking 3-0 loss to Mainz, Leipzig will look to give fans some cheer when they face Borussia Dortmund in the DFB Pokal quarter-finals. The Red Bulls are eager to go all the way in the German Cup, but their display in the defeat to die Nullfunder is not giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of Wednesday’s showdown. Spain midfielder Dani Olmo is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while all Yussuf Poulsen, Xaver Schlager, and Peter Gulacsi remain in the recovery room. This match comes too early for prolific attacker Christopher Nkunku.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, aim to bounce back from a 4-2 loss to Bayern Munich, and seeing that they will adopt an attack-minded approach as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Defender Nico Schlotterbeck limped off with injury in Der Klassiker, with Mats Hummels likely to step up. Donyell Malen should be recalled to the starting line-up after scoring as a substitute in the Bundesliga derby.
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.
Highlighted Team (Borussia Dortmund):
1909 by eighteen footballers from Dortmund. Die Schwarzgelben (The Black and Yellows) play their home games at Signal Iduna Park, but the stadium’s original name is Westfalenstadion. The capacity of Borussia’s home ground is 81,539 and it has to be noted that the stadium was opened in 1974. BVB have the highest average attendance in the world of football.
Borussia Dortmund have won eight Bundesliga trophies, while clinching the German Cup title three times.
However, the club’s biggest success came in 1997 when they outplayed Juventus in the Champions League final. Karl-Heinz Riedle scored a brace for BVB in the 3-1 win over Juve, with Lars Ricken finding the net in the title game as well. Borussia’s biggest rivals are Schalke 04 and the two teams square off against each other in the Revierderby.
