At 1. FC Saarbrücken the anticipation of the semi-finals in the DFB Cup is huge. There they will face the second division team Kaiserslautern at home on Tuesday (from 8.45 p.m. in the LIVE ticker). But the anticipation could be dampened somewhat due to the conditions in the Ludwigsparkstadion.
Because once again the playability of the course is put to the test by rain. The quarter-final against Borussia Mönchengladbach had to be postponed due to poor pitch conditions.
Now the semi-final game against Lautern could also be in the balance, because it has been raining again in Saarbrücken in the last few days. Unlike before, this time the third division team is optimistic about the event. “The square has coped well with the rains of the past few days,” said city spokesman Daniel Schumann in “Bild”.
If the event is canceled, Saarbrücken would have to move to a neutral location
Nevertheless: If there is actually a cancellation again, the Saarlanders will face trouble. If the semi-final game does not take place as planned on Tuesday evening, the third division team would lose home advantage. The game would therefore have to be played on a neutral pitch specified by the DFB.
On the way to the semi-finals, 1. FC Saarbrücken has already put fear into the hearts of many a Bundesliga team. Among others, the Saarlanders eliminated FC Bayern Munich, Eintracht Frankfurt and most recently Borussia Mönchengladbach.
