Match preview

Will Bundesliga high-fliers Freiburg keep their cup dream alive?

Last season, Breisgau-Brasilianer finished sixth and reached the DFB-Pokal Final, agonisingly beaten by RB Leipzig on penalties.

The former means Christian Streich’s side are competing in the Europa League this season, winning four out of four so far.

In the league, despite being hammered 5-0 by Bayern Munich on Sunday, Freiburg are third, dreaming of a top four finish.

Meantime, they’ll be desperate to avenge May’s heartbreaking Pokal final defeat, so will they stay on track for another trip to Berlin here?

FC St. Pauli meantime beat Borussia Dortmund en route to their first quarter-final in this competition since 2005 last time round.

Timo Schultz’s team are currently 12th in the 2.Bundesliga, but did easily beat Hamburger SV 3-0 on Friday night.

So, can the second-tier side spring a surprise at Europa-Park Stadion?
