Essen (dpa / lno) - Holstein Kiel is aiming for the first semi-final in the club's history in the DFB Cup.

In the guest appearance at the regional league club Rot-Weiss Essen, the team of coach Ole Werner also has a great chance as a semi-finalist to flush a substantial success fee into the club of the second division second.

Last year there were 2.8 million euros for reaching the semifinals.

Because of the corona losses, it will be around 20 percent less this season.

“It's a special game for our team and a special game for our club,” said Werner, the successful coach, summarizing the favorable initial situation.

With the exception of Stefan Thesker (tear of the Achilles tendon) and Noah Awuku (tear of the Achilles tendon), all professionals are available to the North Germans when playing in the Ruhr area.
