Hertha BSC's ambition to reach the DFB Cup quarter-finals seems to be delayed, as Bayer Leverkusen is currently competing in the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal. Leverkusen emerged victorious against FC Köln in a thrilling extra-time finish, securing their spot in the semi-finals with a 3-2 victory [2][3].
Meanwhile, Hertha BSC and Hamburger SV faced off in the 2. Bundesliga on the same day, with the northern club leading the table in 1st place with 31 points. Hertha BSC trailed in 12th position with only 25 points [1][4]. A prediction favored Hamburger SV to win by a narrow 1-2 margin [1]. To advance in the DFB Cup, Leverkusen will need to keep up their impressive form and potentially confront another challenging opponent in the semifinals. Hertha BSC, on the other hand, must focus on improving their performance in the 2. Bundesliga to bank on their chances of qualifying for the cup if they were to advance past earlier rounds.
