Elversberg have now gone 12 games without a win in the DFB Pokal and have suffered back-to-back defeats since returning from the winter break.
In contrast, Bayer Leverkusen are in excellent form, having secured 18 points from their last seven matches, which gives them plenty of confidence going into this clash.
Leverkusen’s matches in the DFB Pokal have consistently been high-scoring, with all seven of their games this season featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite Elversberg having played only four times due to postponements, three of their games have also seen over 2.5 goals.
Leverkusen have had no trouble finding the net at home in this competition, scoring in each of their last 12 matches. Elversberg, on the other hand, have seen both teams score in their last five away games at this level, suggesting another open contest when the two sides face off.
Prediction
Leverkusen have been dominant at home, winning eight and drawing one of their last nine games, outscoring their opponents by 14 goals to two.
Meanwhile, Elversberg have struggled on the road, losing four of their last five away fixtures, including one at this stadium.
