Following Saturday night’s exciting 4-3 win in Düsseldorf over league-leading Fortuna, the Red Devils head to Stuttgart on Tuesday for a 8:45 p.m. second-round German cup match against the Bundesliga team.

Kaiserslautern beat third division Ingolstadt 2-1 in the first round to advance, while VfB defeated second division newcomers Münster 5-2 to reach the next round.

FCK will have plenty of fan support Tuesday night, as the guest ticket contingent at Stuttgart’s MHP Arena is sold out. The team and its fans are hoping for a repeat of last season’s competition, making it to the final in Berlin, before losing to Leverkusen 1-0.

Back in second division action, Kaiserslautern hosts Magdeburg at 1:30 p.m. on Sunday at Fritz Walter Stadium.
