A mountainous task awaits Energie Cottbus in the second round of the DFB Pokal as they are set to play host to Bundesliga side RB Leipzig at LEAG Energie Stadion. This marks the first-ever meeting between these two sides. Here's our match prediction.
Energie Cottbus have been in terrific form as they come into this match riding a five-match winning streak. All wins were recorded in the 3. Liga - the third tier in German football. Their last match was a thrilling 4-3 home victory against TSV Havelse.
Claus-Dieter Wollitz's men now shift their focus to the DFB Pokal. In the first round, they upset the odds by beating Hannover 1-0 at home thanks to Tolcay Cigerci's effort within the first 12 minutes.
In light of that result, the Energie were able to progress to the second round for the first time in 12 years. This comes after being eliminated in the opening round in eight consecutive seasons.
With a total market value of €366.25 million compared to their opponents' €6.73 million, RB Leipzig will be confident about their chances of progressing to the third round of the DFB Pokal.
That confidence also stems from the fact that they are unbeaten in their last seven games across all competitions. This includes a 6-0 battering of Augsburg in the Bundesliga.
In the first round of the DFB Pokal, they beat Sandhausen 4-2 on the road.
