Match details:
Hannover 96 vs RB Leipzig
HDI Arena

Preview:
It is the DFB Pokal quarter-final tonight and we have Hannover 96 taking on RB Leipzig. The two sides clash at the HDI Arena with all eyes on the semi-finals.
Hannover 96 will be full of confidence once again as they defeated Borussia Mgladbach in the previous round. They won 3-0 back in January and have not lost any of their last 4 games at home in all competitions.
RB Leipzig struggled against Hansa Rostock in the previous round but have picked up pace since then. They have 4 wins and a loss in their last 5 away games in all competitions.
Hannover 96 last faced RB Leipzig back when they were in Bundesliga. All 4 meetings were won by Leipzig and they will be looking to make it 5.
Suspension and injuries:
Hannover 96: Ernst and Muroya are out.
RB Leipzig: No player is ruled out.
Probable starting line-up:
Hannover 96: Ron-Robert Zieler, Jannik Dehm, Marcel Franke, Julian Börner, Niklas Hult, Mark Diemers, Dominik Kaiser, Cedric Teuchert, Sebastian Kerk, Sebastian Stolze, Maximilian Beier
RB Leipzig: Péter Gulácsi, Lukas Klostermann, Willi Orbán, Mohamed Simakan, Konrad Laimer, Tyler Adams, Amadou Haidara, Benjamin Henrichs, Dani Olmo, Yussuf Poulsen, André Silva
Top picks:
Maximilian Beier: The Hannover star is the top scorer this season in DFB Pokal along with Haaland, Choupo-Moting and Pantovic. He will be looking to add to his tally of 4 goals tonight and should be the best pick from the home side.
Andre Silva: The Portuguese star will be playing up front for RB Leipzig and could prove to be a tough player to handle for the Hannover defence.
Yussuf Poulsen: The best captaincy pick of the night would be Poulsen as he will be keen on scoring more, having scored just once in his last 5 games.
Captaincy options:
- Yussuf Poulsen
- Andre Silva
- Maximilian Beier
