Arminia vs. Werder: Match Prediction
Arminia has benefited from the draw. All three matches in this tournament's run were played at home, where Michel Kniat's side managed to eliminate two Bundesliga representatives. At home, Arminia generally performs well, having not lost in 6 of their last 8 national cup matches in regular time, with one of the two defeats being by a minimal margin. In the championship, the team has also collected most of their points at home.
Werder has won three of their last six away matches in the German Cup (1 draw and 2 losses in regular time). However, they have only managed to win by at least two goals once. Additionally, in their last 8 away Bundesliga matches, Ole Werner's team can only boast two victories over struggling St. Pauli and Bochum. I think Bremen will face a tough challenge against a solid home team like Arminia.
My prediction: Arminia with a handicap (+1)
RB Leipzig
Wolfsburg
