Recommended bets

Match preview

The holders begin the defence of their DFB-Pokal title.

Back in May, RB Leipzig lifted major silverware for the very first time, beating Freiburg on penalties at Olympiastadion.

Having also reached the Europa League semi-finals and finished fourth in the Bundesliga, another strong season was expected from Domenico Tedesco’s team.

However, die Roten Bullen actually failed to win any of their first three league games, before beating Wolfsburg 2-0 on Saturday.

Christopher Nkunku with a brace.

Here, RB Leipzig should be far too strong.

Despite being the away team, this tie will take place at Red Bull Arena, after it was found that the pitch at Paul Greifzu Stadium had been poisoned.

That is far from ideal for Teutonia Ottensen, who play in Regionalliga Nord, part of Germany’s fourth-tier.

Nevertheless, with this their first-ever DFB-Pokal tie, coming against the defending cup winners, it’ll be a special occasion.

RB Leipzig should cruise to victory.
