Arminia Bielefeld play Werder Bremen at the Schuco-Arena on Tuesday in the DFB-Pokal quarter-final. Arminia are on the hunt for promotion from the third tier as they turn their attention to cup football.
They have performed beyond expectations in the Cup, picking up 2-0 wins over Hannover and Union Berlin, respectively, before beating Bundesliga side Freiburg 3-1 in the last-16 in December.
Werder, meanwhile, have been disappointing in the league and will hope for better luck in the cup. They respectively saw off Energie Cottbus and Paderborn in the first two rounds before beating Darmstadt 1-0 last time out, thanks to a late Anthony Jung winner.
Werder last appeared at this stage of the DFB-Pokal in the 2020-21 season, beating Regensburg 1-0.
