In the 1. Round of the DFB-Cup are distributed, the roll is usually clear: The Bundesliga playing against Teams from lower leagues. Sometimes, however, one of the favorites stumble and make a fool of himself. Who could it be this time?
The Cup, it is said, has its own laws. Especially in the 1. Round if all of the 64 participants are still in the race, you will see games that make up the special of the competition: Because all first-division clubs and the top 14 clubs of the 2. League are set to meet Amateur clubs from the fourth, fifth, and sometimes sixth League to the million dollar squad of the German Elite clubs. Despite clear inferiority, try the outsider, to the big favorites a leg, which succeeds some of the Time. This year, it could come in the following Play Sensation:
Greuther Fürth-Borussia Dortmund
The Dortmund coach is new, the Team is still not properly recorded, and without obligation to use the game. The fürth started well in the second League season and are two games on rank three. Although the BVB since 2005 in the 1. Round of the DFB Cup failed, however, the Black-and-Yellow so have their difficulties with teams from League 2. Four of the last seven Cup games against Teams from the house of Commons went into overtime or even a penalty shoot-out. Need Reus, Witsel and co. push this time, even extra layers to 2. To reach round?
Viktoria Köln against RB Leipzig
Cheer Werner (l.) and Forsberg (R) also in Cologne?
The Red bulls are thanks to the Europa League qualification already in the rhythm, but as the hardships of the Journey – Thursday played RB in Romania – for some tired legs. And the legs could possibly be even more tired, should keep the fourth-tier of the Cologne East, a long a tie or in the lead. Leipzig is the clear favorite, but Viktoria Köln has earlier already proved that it is quite able to survive the opening round successfully: 2015 defeated Union Berlin. “We will have a great backdrop. Leipzig is an attractive opponent,” said Viktoria-player Tobias Willers in an Interview with the “Kicker”. “We will give our Best and try to take advantage of our outside chance.”
Kaiserslautern against Hoffenheim
Admittedly, it is just running around in second division-Relegated Kaiserslautern. After four days of play in the 3. League are the “Red devils” already in crisis. With four points the FCK is currently only 16. How important and morale-strengthening of a Cup victory against TSG Hoffenheim, especially since the duel against the Champions League has participants from Germany, South West of Derby character. In the past ten years, so since then, Hoffenheim plays in the Bundesliga, TSG already twice a 1. Round failed: 2012 to fourth-tier Berlin AK and three years later, in 1860 Munich of the 2. League.
Drochtersen/Assel against FC Bayern
It was supposed to come here actually to the favorites fall, would the 18. August in Drochtersen, a village to the West of Hamburg on the river Elbe, to the regional public holiday to be declared. Hardly a Cup of the participants is further away from the German record Champions as the SV Drochtersen/Assel, a “village club”, playing in the Regionalliga Nord. Actually, the Kicker from the North against the “star of the South” have no Chance. Possibly, but it does not help that the Amateurs swerve in a large Arena, but in their own, small stadium.
The great FC Bayern comes to this place to case, or the favorite is?
Bumpy lawn, changing cabins, such as in the district gym and during the game, scent of Bratwurst on the nose – perhaps the professionals be a little distracting. Twice the FCB had to drop in round one of the sail, however, it’s been so long that the Bayern professionals Joshua Kimmich, Niklas Süle and Leon Goretzka were not born yet. In 1994 the Munich moved against Vestenbergsgreuth the Shorter, in 1990, against the FV Weinheim – both clubs played in the third-highest class.
