Cottbus expects a sensational cup duel against RB Leipzig!
Things will be exciting in Cottbus next week: on Tuesday, October 28, 2025, FC Energie Cottbus will welcome Bundesliga club RB Leipzig in the DFB Cup. A duel that is already making fans' hearts beat faster. The hosts come to the stadium with a special morale because they are still unbeaten at home this season. Head coach Claus-Dieter Wollitz can look back on an impressive record: In the first round of the cup, his team defeated the second division team Hannover 96 and thus created the basis for the first second round home game in the DFB Cup in eleven years.
The stadium will be sold out for this exciting encounter with 22,528 fans, creating a unique atmosphere. Wollitz expressed his wish for an exciting evening in which “floodlights and bad weather” would be a special touch. He emphasizes the importance of the audience, which, in his opinion, can have a decisive influence on the game. “We have to use our home strength,” is how he assesses his team’s chances.
RB Leipzig on course for the title
On the other side is RB Leipzig, the current Bayern hunters in the Bundesliga. After an impressive 6-0 win against Augsburg, Leipzig are on a run and are undefeated in seven competitive games since the defeat against Bayern. Coach Ole Werner emphasizes how important it is not to underestimate the supposedly weaker opponent. “Cottbus has already beaten a higher-class team once, we know the atmosphere there,” said Werner, who has already played with Werder Bremen in Cottbus.
The anticipation for the game is growing and the fans can look forward to an exciting duel in the DFB Cup. Kick-off will be at 8:45 p.m. and for everyone who cannot be in the stadium, the game will be followed live via SpiO audio stream or live ticker. The duel between the third division team and the established Bundesliga team promises a lot of thrills and could be the springboard for the Cottbus team into a new cup round.
