Arminia Bielefeld will host Freiburg at the Schuco-Arena on Tuesday in another round of the 2024-25 DFB Pokal campaign. The home side have performed well in their league duties this season but will break from their promotion charge on Tuesday as they turn their attention to cup action.
They were drawn against Bundesliga side Union Berlin in the previous round of the tournament back in October, picking up a 2-0 home win with Marius Worl scoring a deft opener from long range before Andre Becker wrapped up the points on the counter 20 minutes from normal time.
Freiburg, meanwhile, opened their cup campaign with a 4-0 demolition of Osnabruck, featuring goals from three different players including Chukwubuike Adamu who netted a second-half brace to register his first efforts for the club since last November.
They then hosted Hamburger SV in the next round and won 2-1, with Matthias Ginter and Vincenzo Grifo handing the Breisgau-Brasilianer a two-goal lead heading into the break before their opponents halved the deficit early after the restart.
