Prediction: 4-1
Elversberg
Bayer Leverkusen and Elversberg face each other at BayArena in a David-vs-Goliath German Cup game. Die Schwarzroten dropped two points in a 2-2 draw with Werder Bremen, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat the 2. Bundesliga side in front of home fans. Czech Republic striker Patrik Schick is widely expected to return to the starting XI, with all Tella, Palacios, and Hofmann pushing for a start as well.
Elversberg, on the other hand, did well to shock HSV (4-2) in their last league match, but given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on the Bundesliga champions. When the two teams met in the DFB Pokal two years ago Elversberg shocked Bayer Leverkusen (4-3), meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. All Semih Sahin, Florian Le Joncour, Frederik Jakel, and Patryk Dragon remain on the sidelines with injuries for the away team.
