Soccer - HSV travel to Berlin: Hertha await in the DFB Cup
Hamburger SV will face Hertha BSC in the round of 16 of the DFB Cup today (20:45/Sky). Five days after the draw in the city derby against FC St. Pauli in the 2nd Bundesliga, HSV faces its next challenge. A place in the quarter-finals would be lucrative. After all, 1.7 million euros are up for grabs. The Hamburg team will be supported by around 20,000 fans. In the 2021/22 season, the Hanseatic team even made it to the semi-finals of the cup competition, but were defeated by SC Freiburg.
Matheo Raab will once again be in goal for HSV in Berlin. The 24-year-old is a permanent cup goalkeeper. Bakery Jatta is available again after missing Friday's 2-2 draw with city rivals due to a yellow card suspension.
Hamburg have already played the Berliners once in the league this season, winning 3-0 at the Volksparkstadion on matchday three in August. Hertha have stabilized in recent weeks and are unbeaten in five league games. The relegated team recently made a statement: The Berliners won 5:1 (2:1) against SV Elversberg last weekend.
