Hoffenheim to face Freiburg in DFB-Pokal on 19 January

The fixture schedule for the DFB-Pokal round of 16 was announced on Wednesday. TSG will welcome SC Freiburg to the PreZero Arena on 19 January (20:45 CET).

Peter Zimmermann of SG Ahrtal was the man to draw TSG's opponent in the DFB-Pokal round of 16, which will see Hoffenheim take on regional rivals SC Freiburg. The matches in the third round have now been scheduled: TSG will welcome their fellow Bundesliga outfit from Freiburg, who are still unbeaten this season, to the PreZero Arena in Sinsheim on 19 January (20:45 CET).

The men from Freiburg were taken to a penalty shootout by third-tier VfL Osnabrück in the second round of the competition, whereas TSG stormed into the last 16 by thrashing Holstein Kiel 5-1. Sporting director Alexander Rosen is looking forward to the clash with Freiburg: "A home game, and on top of that a Baden derby against Freiburg, is certainly a great draw for our fans. In sporting terms, it is undoubtedly a tough challenge against the team of the hour, but our goal is clear: we want to go through to the next round!"
