-----------------------------
Freiburg aim to reach their third DFB Pokal semi-final in five seasons when they visit Hertha Berlin. Both teams enter the match on the back of recent league victories, boosting morale. The clash at the historic Olympiastadion promises to be a competitive and exciting encounter.

Team Analysis:
Hertha Berlin aim to balance their push for Bundesliga promotion with a strong DFB Pokal run, though they enter as underdogs against Freiburg and are winless at home in four matches. Freiburg have become cup specialists in recent years, reaching the final in 2022 and consistently advancing deep in the tournament. Coming off a 1–0 league win, Freiburg travel to Berlin confident and eager to extend their cup success.

Player Situation:
Hertha Berlin face a blow with teen talent Kennet Eichhorn sidelined by a serious injury, alongside midfielders Demme and Krattenmacher. Freiburg also contend with absences, including defenders Lukas Kubler and Philipp Lienhart, while Daniel-Kofi Kyereh and Philipp Treu remain doubts. Both sides will need to adjust their lineups significantly for the DFB Pokal quarter-final clash.

Result Prediction:
Hertha Berlin have been prolific in front of goal, but Freiburg’s Bundesliga experience is expected to give them the edge. The Breisgau side have lost just once in their last four league matches. Julian Schuster’s team is favored to control the game and dominate proceedings.

Predicted Result: Hertha Berlin 1-2 Freiburg.
