Sandhausen take on the visitors Freiburg in the 1/8-finals of German DFB Pokal. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 7th at Hardtwaldstadion (Sandhausen).
Sandhausen were founded over a century ago, in 1916. At the same time, their serious achievement was 1st place in the 3rd division of Germany. This happened in 2012, and the whole subsequent decade turned out to be spent in the Bundesliga 2. For this, they managed to finish only twice, although in 10th position, and in the spring of last year they finished 14th. It is unlikely that anything will seriously change even now. The White and Blacks in the autumn segment, in 17 fights, took only 4 wins and 16 points. On the other hand, after a long pause Sandhausen was able to start 2-1 in Bielefeld with Arminia. But then there were 0-4 with Darmstadt. At the same time, in the fall, a couple of competitors in the cup were get past the cup, but with Karlsruhe at home, only a penalty shoot-out brought victory.

Freiburg relatively recently rose from the Bundesliga 2, not the first time in this century. But Christian Streich’s wards did not just gain a foothold in the elite - they were close to making last season completely triumphant. They were a little short: in the championship the Brazilians from Breisgau collected 55 points and finished 6th, 1 win away from RB Leipzig, which closed the quartet and retained a pass to the Champions League. There was also the first final in the country's cup, but there the “Bulls” turned out to be stronger too. Despite this blurred ending, Freiburg started the new season confidently. They won the group in the Europa League, and started there with 4 victories in a row. And, despite the European cup load, the club did not lose its position in the Bundesliga. After a pause, however, they started with 0-6 on the Wolfsburg field. But after that, the “Brazilians” shared points with “Eintracht” (Frankfurt), playing 1-1, and confidently defeated “Augsburg”. Now, however, there will be not the best mood: in Dortmund, Borussia left them absolutely no chances, thrashing the visitors 1-5.
Freiburg crossed paths with Sandhausen in the 2015/2016 season, when both clubs played in the 2nd Bundesliga - then the wards of Streich (who has been in office for over a decade) won both matches. But immediately after that, the “black-and-whites” turned out to be stronger in the cup: 3-3 after full time and 4-3 on penalties. Freiburg need to prove themselves after a devastating defeat in Dortmund against Borussia, and now they have a very convenient opponent. We recommend betting on the fact that in this cup match the visitors will be able to win with a handicap of “-1 goal scored”.
Prediction for the match: Freiburg to win with -1.0 handicap.
