Match Details: February 10 2026 | Olympiastadion Berlin | DFB Pokal - Quarter-final | 19:45 GMT

An interesting matchup in the quarter finals with a team from second division of German football facing against a team pushing for the top in the Bundesliga.

Hertha BSC haven’t had the best season. They would’ve been hoping to push for the top of the 2. Bundesliga, however, sit outside the promotion spaces. While they are 7 points behind, they will be hoping to push for that in the second half of the season and be back to playing in the top division.

However, Freiburg are having a strong season. They currently sit in 7th 8 points behind the places that could see them playing in Europe next season. They will be hoping that they can push for that place if not use a run in this cup as a way of getting into Europe.

Hertha BSC has struggled in recent meetings between these 2 sides having seen their last and only win in the last 5 meetings 5 years ago.

A poor run of form for the team from the German capital. They have failed to win any of their last 5 matches and have drawn 4 of them. If they want to have a chance in pushing forward into the next round, either their defence or attack will have to step up. Having scored 7 goals and conceded 8 goals, they will need to focus a lot on one side of the pitch. If they don’t do that, there is a good chance that they will lose this match.

Some good form recently for Freiburg having managed to win 2 out of the last 5 matches. Their biggest issue when going into this match is that they struggle when they are playing away from home. In the last 5 matches they did this 3 times and didn’t manage to pick up a single win in those matches. This would have a massive effect on their confidence when going into this match. They have only managed to score 2 goals away from home and this has caused them the issues they have found in the last 2 matches losing by a single goal in both. They will be hoping that their forwards can step up and get the job done in this away day.

Key Players to Watch: Hertha BSC vs Freiburg

Fabian Reese (Hertha BSC): The winger has been having a very strong season so far. With 13 goal contributions in 20 matches, he is their key forward this season. While he has struggled to match his xG underperforming by almost 2, his creative ability has made up for that. With 8 assists and 33 chances including 12 big chances, you can see why he is their creative spark. They will need him at his best and if he is they could get a very strong result.

Johan Manzambi (Freiburg): The defensive midfielder has been the rock at the back for Freiburg. With 3 goals and 2 assists he can also cause issues when going forward. However, his 19 interceptions and 67 recoveries are the key area he excels in as well as when he can dive forward. He will be the person who carries Freiburg forward when they have the ball and will win it back for them.
