When the final whistle goes in tonight’s DFB Cup round of 16 match between last year’s semi-finalists 1. FC Union Berlin and VfL (kick-off 20:45 CET), the Wolves will be happy if a very special personal record has also been continued. Should the Green-and-Whites make it through the knockout showdown, head coach Niko Kovac – who lifted the trophy with Eintracht Frankfurt in 2018 and with Bayern Munich in 2019 – will have won his 17th consecutive domestic cup match.
