With courage, self-confidence and a little luck, RB Leipzig want to overcome the cup hurdle of Bayern Munich and advance to the semi-finals of the DFB Cup on Wednesday (20:45, ARD/Sky). Despite the two heavy league defeats of 0:6 and 1:5, the Saxons believe they have a chance. "Nobody expects us to come out on top tomorrow. We will," said coach Ole Werner.
RB must not allow themselves to get involved in an open exchange of blows. They had to stick to their game plan, even if they fell behind. The RB coach also said it was important to minimize the recent high error rate in possession, which had invited the opponents to switch possession and score goals.
