The hosts come packed in the competition: before the break, they had won four straight. However, to win in this round, the third place will have difficulties, since it faces nothing less than the leader of the tournament.
“We want to put on a good performance and win. That takes courage and also a little bit of luck at the right moment. But we don’t want to reduce the game to luck, we want to increase the probability of beating Bayern with our game more than anything. You need to be extremely resilient off the ball, defend with passion and seize opportunities to score and defend your goal with everything you’ve got.”
Bayern, who are looking to win their 11th straight cup, are also enjoying a great phase in the Bundesliga. The team is in the lead of the competition, has not lost for eight games and opened four points for Freiburg, in second place.
“It’s an important game, even in terms of the table. Leipzig are one of the main rivals for the title. If we lose, it’s very tight again and then we’ll be under more pressure in the Bundesliga than if we win,” said manager Julian Nagelsmann .
