When the Werder players take to the pitch on Wednesday evening, the Round of 16 tie against Dortmund won’t be fresh in their minds. The 3-2 home victory over BVB was over a month ago now. However, the prognosis for the quarterfinal against Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday (20:45 CET) remains roughly the same. The Green-and-Whites haven’t seen an upturn in their league form since that DFB-Pokal triumph and are still looking to get their season back on track. In the Pokal on the other hand, the situation looks a little brighter. Werder proved in the last round that they are not to be underestimated in cup competitions. “We’re looking forward to it and want to get as far as possible. Our situation in the league doesn’t play any role in this,” Florian Kohfeldt explained in his press conference on Tuesday. The Werder head coach also made special mention the club’s performance in the DFB-Pokal in recent years.
