Message: [QUOTE="ETSA, post: 2072875, member: 2606"] Dortmund has only to get by Sportfreunde Lotte. But it's crazy that third division Sportfreunde have even made it all the way to the quarter final round. They have already beaten Bremen and Leverkusen from the Bundesliga and 1860 Munich of the Second Bundesliga. Sportfreunde were only promoted last year from the fourth division Regionalliga (West). Maybe it has something to do with the home team's familiarity with the poor playing surface in Lotte. As the lower level team all of their Cup games have been in Lotte. All of the other quarter finals were played this week, but Lotte-Dortmund was postponed, possibly to the 14th, due to unplayable conditions on Lotte's pitch. They should find a neutral location to play the game to reduce the chances for injuries. [/QUOTE]
