BFC Dynamo vs. VfL Bochum: Cup duel with high expectations!

BFC Dynamo will face VfL Bochum in the DFB Cup today, August 16, 2025. Kick-off is at 1 p.m. in the Sportforum Hohenschönhausen in Berlin. While BFC Dynamo is entering the race as outsiders, it has had a mediocre start to the season in the regional league so far: only one win was achieved in three games.
