Third division side Saarbrucken will be attempting to pull off one of the greatest upsets in DFB-Pokal history when they host Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich on Wednesday.
The visitors have won Germany's domestic cup a record 20 times in their illustrious history, although they have not lifted it since 2019-20.
Saarbrucken, of course, created history themselves in that same season by becoming the first ever fourth division side to reach the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal.
Although Die Molschder benefitted from a relatively kind route during that astonishing run to the final four, they still had to defeat two Bundesliga opponents at the time in the form of FC Koln and Fortuna Dusseldorf, before eventually falling to a 3-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen.
That was a particularly memorable campaign for Saarbrucken's fanbase as they achieved promotion back to the third tier, too, where they have remained ever since with two fifth-placed finishes and a seventh-placed result sandwiched in between.
