Werder Bremen hosts Greuther Furth in the German DFB Pokal 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 2nd at Weserstadion (Bremen)
Not so long ago, Werder Bremen was a powerful force in German football. And the fans remember the relatively fresh titles and participation in the Champions League. But in recent years, the Green-Whites have been usually involved in the struggle for survival, including in 2020. Fortunately, Florian Kohfeldt justified the trust and patience of the club's management and kept the team in the Bundesliga. However, the club from Bremen has noticeably improved its results and consolidated its position in the middle of the standings. In the last seven rounds, Werder managed to score 11 points, and it was more than a decent figure. Beyond that, the Green-Whites managed to go through two rounds in the cup, but their opponents were not difficult - Karl Zeiss and Hannover.

Greuther Furth approaches an important game in a good mood. The Cloverleaves were able to win twice in a row in Bundesliga 2. At first, the only goal scored by Green in the 38th minute brought three points in the match against Osnabrück. And on Friday, the goal of the same player and the double of the main striker, Hrgota, allowed gaining a major victory over Erzgebirge (3-0). And Stefan Leitl's charges have not lost in four matches in a row. It allows the team to seriously talk about claims for second or third place and, accordingly, promotion. In the cup, Greuther Furth has already managed to cope with two opponents. And if the romp of the modest Meinerzhagen did not surprise, then on December 22, Greuther Furth was able to gain a draw in the regulation time of the match with Hoffenheim. And the Cloverleaves won a prolonged penalty shootout - only the 9th shot brought success.
In 2004, the teams already crossed their paths in the cup, and then Werder Bremen was able to go further. But in the 2012/13 season, when Greuther Furth was in the Bundesliga, it managed to gain two draws (1-1 at home and 2-2 away). The difference in class is not huge, but still there. And stronger Werder Bremen will have the home field advantage. We think that the hosts will manage to win in regulation time.
Prediction for the match: Werder Bremen to win
