Saarbrücken Set Sights on Another Upset in DFB Cup Round of 16

As conquerors of Bayern, 1. FC Saarbrücken are ready to pulls off another cup coup against Eintracht Frankfurt in the round of 16. "We know we're the underdogs," goalkeeper Tim Schreiber stated ahead of the clash on Wednesday. "But we've played four straight shutouts, and we aim to keep it that way."

Coach Rüdiger Ziehl almost has a full squad at his disposal, with only Sebastian Jacob and Patrick Schmidt unavailable. "Everyone's ready," Zehl assured. "We're in a good position, prepared for numerous scenarios."

Despite the team's impressive 2:1 triumph against the German titans in the second round, Ziehl acknowledges that Frankfurt poses a significant challenge. "It's a familiar underdog situation ahead of the Bayern match," he admitted. "If Frankfurt plays at their peak, they'll surely win. But it's our mission to reduce their drive and keep them from exhausting themselves."
