In the first round of the DFB Cup, Werder Bremen only had to delete a Bundesliga club. The chance is correspondingly great that there can be some direct duels in the round of the last 32.
Who do FC Bayern, BVB and Co. meet? sport.de accompanies the draw today from 7:00 p.m. at this point in the detailed live ticker.
How is it drawn in the DFB Cup?
Only the remaining teams from the 3rd league and regional league enjoy two definitely home rights in round. In all pairings in which only first and second division teams are involved, the lot decides on home or away game.
For this purpose, the participants of the second round are divided into two loose pots. All teams from the upper and lower house end up in a saucepan, third division clubs and regional leagues in the so -called amateur pot, from which it is initially drawn. If the “amateur” container is no longer loose, the profit pot will continue.
In any case, the first pulled team has home rights. A meeting between teams that are located below the 2nd Bundesliga is therefore excluded.
The referee Felix Brych, which is now retired, acts as “Losfee” in the Dortmund Football Museum.
