National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Borussia Dortmund or Holstein Kiel that keep their silverware dream alive.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Borussia Dortmund form and stats

Last season their DFB Pokal adventure ended in the 3rd round.

Overall Bundesliga stats at home this season for Borussia Dortmund are 9-2-4 (wins-draw-losses). On the other hand, in the DFB Pokal, Borussia Dortmund has performed like this (both home and away): 4 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Two home wins in a row for Borussia Dortmund bring valid hopes of a third.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Borussia, as their goalkeeper Marwin Hitz has completely shut out the opponents for 256 minutes in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Dortmund enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Wolfsburg's place. The match ended 2-0 with Erling Braut Haaland (2) scoring. Ahead of that match, Borussia won a home game hosting Union Berlin (2-0).

Holstein Kiel form and stats

Holstein Kiel's mission in DFB Pokal last season failed in the 2nd round.

7-5-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Holstein Kiel in their 2. Bundesliga matches away. When we have look at the DFB Pokal statistics, we find 2W-2D-0L. This is both home and away.

Holstein play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Osnabruck. Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Heidenheim's place.

Holstein has displayed an ability to score goals in away matches in the league this season, 23 goals from 15 games. It's not easy to score on Holstein as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
