DFB-Pokal: Where to watch HEBC Hamburg v BVB live on TV, stream | OneFootball

After a successful Bundesliga opener, Borussia Dortmund now turn their attention to the DFB-Pokal. Against HEBC Hamburg, BVB are clear favorites – and the match will be shown on free TV and via stream.

Borussia Dortmund begin their DFB-Pokal campaign on Tuesday evening. In the first round, BVB face Oberliga side HEBC Hamburg. Kick-off is at 8:45 p.m. Due to strong spectator interest, the game will not be played at Professor-Reinmüller-Platz, but at the much larger Volksparkstadion instead.

For HEBC, the match is a historic occasion. The Hamburg side won the regional cup last season, securing a place in the DFB-Pokal for the first time. In the draw, the fifth-tier club then landed the dream tie with Borussia Dortmund. The roles are therefore clearly defined: anything other than a win for the Bundesliga side would be a huge surprise.

Dortmund travel to Hamburg on the back of a positive result. In their Bundesliga opener, Niko Kovac’s team beat Hamburger SV 2-0. However, the victory was overshadowed by a serious ACL injury suffered by new signing Giannis Konstantelias. From a sporting perspective, the focus is now on the cup. Against the underdogs, BVB want to live up to their status as favorites without risking an upset.
