“I anticipate a closely contested event. Saarbrücken Neu-Ulm and ourselves are undoubtedly the favorites. The outcome will hinge on the players’ form on the day. It’s sure to be thrilling and we’re eagerly anticipating it. If it’s anything like last year then the spectators in particular are in for an exciting spectacle.”

Danny HEISTER Head Coach of Borussia Düsseldorf added:

“Naturally we expect to emerge victorious in the semi-final. However in the end it will depend on the players’ performances and everyone must deliver their best. Then we certainly stand a chance of clinching the title. Nevertheless Saarbrücken and Neu-Ulm pose formidable challenges. Any one of us could emerge triumphant.”
