Positionally there is a clear hierarchy: Altglienicke sit 30th, VfL Wolfsburg lie 29th, but the DFB Pokal has a habit of defying such logic. Altglienicke's recent form is difficult to quantify, but the occasion itself should bring the best out of them. VfL Wolfsburg will travel with intent, knowing that a positive result here could kick-start their campaign.
