Dortmund’s DFB-Pokal clash in Frankfurt live on free-to-air TV | OneFootball

The encounter is undoubtedly the highlight of the second DFB-Pokal round: Eintracht Frankfurt hosts Borussia Dortmund. Two Champions League participants face each other. The German Football Association has now scheduled the match precisely.

When SGE and BVB meet, the Deutsche Bank Park is likely to be completely sold out with 59,500 spectators. Both clubs can rely on a loyal and large fan base. While the two Bundesliga matches will only take place next year (10.01./09.05.), the kickoff for the cup encounter is on Tuesday, October 28, at 6:30 PM.

All fans who don't manage to get a ticket for the knockout duel don't have to miss out. The encounter between Hessen and Westphalia is not only available on the pay-TV channel Sky but also on free TV on ZDF.

Kovač looks forward to returning to Frankfurt

BVB coach Niko Kovač (53) returns to his old stomping grounds. In 2018, he won the DFB-Pokal with SGE by defeating FC Bayern Munich 3-1 in the final. "I'm looking forward to going back to Frankfurt. It's very familiar to me there," commented the Berlin-born coach on the draw. Kovač continued: "There are certainly, in quotes, easier draws, especially when you can have a home game. But I believe my friends in Frankfurt aren't exactly thrilled that we're coming to Frankfurt either."

Frankfurt's sporting director Markus Krösche (44) responded: "Dortmund in the second round of the cup is a tough draw. We are very much looking forward to the game in our stadium and a real cup fight. We definitely want to reach the round of 16." Eintracht coach Dino Toppmöller (44) called it an "absolute top match."

BVB midfielder Julian Brandt (29) wants to go far in the competition: "We haven't covered ourselves in glory in the DFB-Pokal in recent years, so it's our task to make a statement again."
