DFB Cup: Shock for Werder - Bielefeld on course for promotion!
The football fans in northern Germany are prepared for anything when the DFB Cup starts the exciting round of first round games. The DFB Cup always causes surprises, and the supporters of the Bundesliga clubs know that. In the current 2024/2025 season, the situation is not easy, especially for last year's performers. Loud Flash score The focus is specifically on Werder Bremen: the club has already lost in the first round 13 times in its DFB Cup history, which is a negative record. This would mean a huge challenge for Bremen against the promotion favorites Arminia Bielefeld in the next game.
The record of the last test games does not speak in favor of Bremen either: out of five matches, only one draw was achieved and only one goal, which also came from the spot. Such a poor performance could raise some questions, especially since Bielefeld is currently at the top of the second division and already has two wins with a goal difference of 7:1. Not to be forgotten is the last meeting in a cup game, in which Bielefeld beat Bremen 2-1.
Stumbling blocks for the Bundesliga clubs
It's not just Bremen that has concerns this season. Union Berlin could also have a difficult time in the duel against FC Gütersloh, who plays in the Regionalliga West and is currently ranked 5th. The Berliners came from a mixed preparation in which they only got one point from five games and suffered four defeats, all in a minimalist 0-1 style. Gütersloh, on the other hand, has collected six points in three games and has nine goals.
Another team that should not be underestimated in the first round is SC Freiburg. Although Freiburg has regularly reached the second round in recent years, the team has often failed due to the challenges that awaited them there. There are uncertainties here too, with Ritsu Doan leaving the club and it is questionable whether newcomers like Cyriaque Irie can fill the void left by this departure.
Looking back on the last few years
A look at the past shows that in previous years at least two Bundesliga teams often failed in the first round of the DFB Cup. Last season, VfL Bochum was the only first division team to bow out early when they lost 1-0 to Jahn Regensburg. At the end of the season, Bochum found itself in the bottom half of the table and had to accept bitter relegation to the 2nd league. The last time that only one Bundesliga team was defeated in the first round was a long time ago, namely in the 2002/2003 season, when Hertha BSC came up short.
We can only hope that the Bundesliga teams find their form by the next round and can actually fulfill their calculated role as favorites. Because in the DFB Cup, league membership is no guarantee of success, as the latest results prove. Fans and teams are prepared for anything, because the cup fairytale is known to be full of surprises.
