The meeting takes place after a successful Bundesliga season for the 1st FC Union, who triumphed in his last game against FC St. Pauli. The view is now aimed at encountering Arminia Bielefeld, where the Ironing ones go into the race as a favorite.

The draw and the opponent analysis

The draw in the Football Museum in Dortmund was carried out by the three × 3 Olympic champion Sonja Greinacher. Union Berlin will have to assert himself against an opponent who is under the pressure of a large club despite his league. Arminia Bielefeld, once in the Bundesliga, has highly reformed and has the promotion in the third division season.

Arminia Bielefeld has had a difficult way, but the team has not lost a fighting spirit under coach Mitch Kniat. In the first round of the cup, they defeated Hannover 96, which underlines their determination. This positive performance shows that they will not be beaten so easily.

"This is a hammerless against a strong first division team. The boys absolutely deserve this comparison," said Kniat and referred to the common spirit with the fans. So the anticipation in the Schüco-Arena is great.

A look at tickets and appointment

The encounter will take place on October 29 or 30. Ticket availability was already a hot topic in advance, because the Schüco-Arena has only a limited capacity of 27,332 places, whereby the Union fans can hope for 2,850 places in the guest block. In the first round of the competition, Bielefeld welcomed an average of over 26,000 spectators, which suggests a sold -out house.

For the supporters of Union Berlin, this means above all an away trip, which could be more than worthwhile if the team succeeds in collecting the next round of the cup.

The managing director of Sport by Union, Horst Heldt, emphasized the importance of preparing well for the opponent and not thinking carefully. "Bielefeld has already proven in the first round that it will not be easy to beat her at home on the alp.

With this attitude, the iron is determined to master the challenge. All signs indicate an exciting evening for the fans of both sides. The dynamics between the teams and the unpredictability of the cup competition promise an exciting football festival. The players on both sides will do everything possible to meet the requirements and to inspire the viewers. A balanced competition that will further increase anticipation in the coming weeks.
