2. Bundesliga side Jahn Regensburg host Werder Bremen in the quarterfinals of the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday night.
Jahn Regensburg are one of three non-Bundesliga sides that remain in the competition. They will now look to take another top-tier scalp with them after eliminating Koln in the last round.
That game in the third round finished 2-2, but the second-division side kept their nerve and went on to win the penalty shootout 4-3.
They are, though, in no contention for promotion to the Bundesliga this season, as they currently occupy 11th place in the second division and are 14 points behind third-placed Greuther Furth.
Werder Bremen, on the other hand, will be wary of Jahn Regensburg despite them going into this game as overwhelming favorites to progress to the last four. Florian Kohfeldt's side got themselves a big win on Friday night in the Bundesliga, as they brought high-flying Eintracht Frankfurt back down to earth.
Andre Silva gave the Eagles the lead in that game, but Josh Sargent and Theodor Gebre-Selassie scored to help Bremen come back into the game and win 2-1.
