Arminia Bielefeld host Hamburger at the Schuco-Arena on Tuesday (October 31) in the DFB Pokal.
The hosts are enjoying a good run of results in the league at the moment after a slow start. Arminia beat Bundesliga side Bochum on penalties in the opening round in August, their third straight win in four games against Die Blauen.
Arminia have been knocked out at this stage of the competition in four of the last five seasons, though.
Hamburger, meanwhile, have had a largely solid 2. Bundesliga campaign. They beat RW Essen 4-3 in the previous round of the Cup. They took the lead three times and lost it on each occasion before Slovakia international Laszlo Benes scored the winner in stoppage time.
