Our prediction for this DFB Pokal match:
Osnabruck play host to Freiburg at their Stadion an der Bremer Bruck in the 2. Bundesliga last 32. Osnabruck have been having their ups and downs in 3. Liga of late, with the team beating Viktoria Berlin, losing to Zwickau, while sharing the spoils with Hallescher. USA international Marc Heider should continue to lead the line for the hosts despite failing to find the net in the last league match.
Freiburg, on the other hand, did well to beat Wolfsburg on the road in their last Bundesliga game. Christian Streich’s troops have been in a splendid form of late, and we predict that they will give fans yet another reason for celebration on Tuesday evening. Both Sallai and Schmid remain in the recovery room, but they should be the only absentees in the away side. When the two teams met in 2. Bundesliga 12 years ago Freiburg crushed Osnabruck 4-1.
Highlighted Player (Nils Petersen):
Son to a football coach, Andreas, the Freiburg striker Nils Petersen is a physical forward best known for his clinical finishing. A former Bayern Munich striker never got a chance to prove his worth with Bundesliga giants and had to take a long road to prominence which included loan spells at Werder Bremen and Freiburg, before penning a permanent deal with Die Breisaguer in 2015.
Petersen’s impressive exploits during the 2017/18 season helped him get into Germany’s provisional FIFA World Cup 2018 squad although his father Andreas would argue it was his personal influence that helped Joachim Loew write his son’s name in the 23-man list. Namely, Andres Piteresen spotted the Germany manager on a beach in January and decided to ask him about his son’s chances of making it into Germany World Cup squad.
Piteresen was rewarded with his senior Germany cap in an Austria friendly but unfortunately for his father missed out on the final squad for the tournament in Russia.
Highlighted Team (Freiburg):
