Tah heads Bayer into the cup semi-finals: 3-2 against Stuttgart. Bayer is now the clear favorite for the title there, as they are 13th in the table.

Borussia Mönchengladbach will at best have another first division team there. Bayer have been in the final four times so far, and after their only title in 1993, they lost three finals. The Rhinelanders can also dream of a double; the direct duel with Bayern will have a signal effect in the league.
