YEREVAN, AUGUST 16, ARMENPRESS. Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart Kickers are set to face off in a German Cup match on Saturday, August 16. The midfielder of the Armenian National Football Team andBorussia DortmundHenrikh Mkhitaryan and Marco Reus are in Borsussia’s starting line up.

Kick-off time is 9:25 a.m. EDT (3:25 p.m. CET) at the Mercedes-Benz-Arena.

Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp is not taking this match lightly, even though the Kickers are in the German third division.

“The way they have played so far, Kickers could very well also be the third division league leaders had they taken their chances in Wiesbaden and not conceded two late goals from set pieces,” said Klopp to the club’s official website.

“They are a talented side with a coach who is a native from the region.”

“The fact that they are calm, well-knit and have more match practice are important factors,” added the Dortmund coach.

“Every third division players could easily play in second tier – and we wouldn’t be happy to travel to a second division side and say ‘we have already won the game’, would we.”

Klopp remains modest about his side’s chances, even though they beat reigning German champions Bayern Munich in the German Supercup on Wednesday.
