A place in the German Cup last 16 will be at stake when Darmstadt and Schalke 04 square off against each other at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor on Wednesday evening. The Lilywhites aim to put an end to their three-game winless run, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Florian Kohfeldt’s troops. Defender Sergio Lopez is back from the 2. Bundesliga ban, while midfielder Fabian Nurnberger remains in the recovery room.
Die Knappen, on the other hand, are on a five-game winning run in the German second tier. Darmstadt, though, are tough to beat at home and we believe that punters worldwide can find value in betting on draw. Both Becker and Gomis are rated doubtful for the visiting team after picking up knocks in a 1-0 win over Darmstadt at the weekend. Even though the hosts are hungry for revenge, a close encounter is on the cards at Merck-Stadion am Bollenfalltor.
This DFB Pokal match will be played on Wednesday 29 October 2025 at 19:45.
