  • The clubs will meet in a league match for the first time; Hertha won each of the three previous cup encounters in 1979, 2016 and 2024.

  • All of Hertha’s players are available, Gustav Christensen has returned to team training, and Stefan Leitl currently sees no reason to change the formation.

  • Kevin Sessa spent seven years with Heidenheim before moving to Berlin in summer 2024.

  • Nine players in Heidenheim’s starting lineup for their 4–3 opening win against Osnabrück had already appeared in Germany’s top division last season, while coach Frank Schmidt has been in charge for 19 years.
    • I don't think Hertha will sit back against us, give us the ball, and operate from a defensive pressing. It will probably be exactly like this: two teams that are prepared to press high and defend intensely. Then it's about solving these one-on-one situations, getting in behind, and beating this counter-press. We have trained that. Now we have to show that we can actually implement it.
    — Frank Schmidt, Heidenheim's head coach, ahead of the match against Hertha BSC (2. Bundesliga, 2026/27 season)
