Arminia Bielefeld preview: Hoping for another upset
After eliminating Union Berlin and Freiburg to reach the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal, Arminia Bielefeld will fancy their chances as they prepare to take on Werder in a battle for the semis. Bielefeld have been inconsistent in their form lately, with three wins and three losses in their last six games in the German 3. Liga, where they're currently fourth in the standings and fighting for promotion.
Another positive for Bielefeld is the fact that only Isaiah Young is currently injured and questionable for this match.
Predicted lineup: Kersken (GK), Schneider, Russo, Grosser, Lannert, Worl, Schreck, Corboz, Oppie, Kunze & Kania
