Round of 16! The third round of the DFB Cup has been reached, but the cup journey should take SV Darmstadt 98 to the quarter-finals. To do this, the Lilies first have to play against Bundesliga club SV Werder Bremen on Tuesday evening (December 3rd/8:45pm). We have summarised both coaches' assessments of the cup game for you.

The quote about the cup game
It will be a very big challenge. And it requires extremely good content performance. For a second division team, we have a very developed and good feel for positional and offensive play. We are still able to defend more and more stably. But we certainly have to put in an extremely strong mental performance as well. We have the idea and the belief that we can use this small opportunity to move forward.

Disappointment & pride
Darmstadt's 2-1 defeat at Karlsruher SC also ended any remaining theoretical hopes the South Hessian club had of finishing the season in the top three. The loss at the Wildpark stadium served somewhat as a symbol for the past few weeks, during which SV 98 had only managed one point from five matches since the international break in March. Following the game on Sunday afternoon, the Darmstadt players addressed the assembled media representatives with mixed feelings.

"Our trend is clearly upward," said a delighted U21 coach Sebastian Schmitt.

Opposition Check: Karlsruher SC
Left hook, 'One hundred and eightyyyyyyy', and hand over the baton. Doesn't sound like football – and that's true. KSC is often associated with professional football, but with the sheer number of titles the club has won, it's worth looking beyond the pitch. Titles from Baden-Württemberg to Rome.
