SV Elversberg vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction: Leverkusen to sail through DFB Pokal round 1

Bayer's first opponent in the German Cup will be Elversberg, 3. Liga representative. The teams have never faced off, and bookmakers give their preference to Bayer. Nothing unexpected.

Before the start of the regular season, Elversberg played five friendly matches, beating Homburg, second team of Borussia Monchengladbach, Mannheim, and drawing with Darmstadt and Freiburg. Elversberg defeated Essen 5-1 on the road in 3. Liga, with goals scored by Koffi (double), Schnellbacher (double), and Sahin.

Bayer have not played any official matches so far this season, only friendlies. They were weaker than Toluca, stronger than Duisburg and Udinese, drawing with Panathinaikos. As far as sparring goes, the results are not the worst, although not ideal. Last season, Bayer were eliminated from the DFB-Pokal round of 32, losing to Karlsruhe but knocking out Lokomotive Leipzig 3-0.

Elversberg is a high-scoring team, going by their results in the first round of 3. Liga. Bayer had the practice of official matches, but has not yet played at the official level. It suggests that the excitement will prevail, and this will entail mistakes in the defense, but probably also the activity of the guests and several goals scored by Bayer. We believe that the upcoming meeting first of all, will be productive. As for the outcome, Leverkusen last season passed the first round of the German Cup without any problems, we expect about the same result from them in the current draw, only with a goal conceded by them.
