Can Darmstadt achieve a historic success in Freiburg? Advancing in Breisgau would mean only the second quarter-final appearance in the club's history. For the cup match against the Europa League participant, Florian Kohfeldt has made four changes to his starting lineup. Marco Richter replaces the injured Fraser Hornby, while Matthias Bader and Matej Maglica come in for Sergio Lopez and Aleksander Vukotic. Merveille Papela starts in place of Fabian Nürnberger.
