Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readSchalke and Hoffenheim will hope to avoid a cup upset after Mainz and Elversberg were knocked out by 2. Bundesliga clubs on Tuesday.
From the source
Schalke and Hoffenheim will face 2. Bundesliga teams away from home on Wednesday, while Hertha, Hannover and Kaiserslautern are also all in action.
Miron Muslić’s side have managed to replicate their excellent defensive record in the Bundesliga, but issues in the final third meant they're in the relegation zone despite only FC Bayern and Borussia Dortmund conceded fewer goals than them.
Schalke did score five in the first round of the DFB-Pokal against Hallescher, and they will now hope to repeat that feat against 2. The atmosphere in this tie would make this a standout fixture because of the huge reputations of their fanbases.
