Prediction published on 25/10/2021, 14:56  by Nella Wagah in DFB Pokal Prediction

Leipzig reached the final of the DFB Pokal last season but fell 4-1 to Borussia Dortmund. This time they will be hoping to do better and as the competition enters the second round, they will be traveling away to Regionalliga side Babelsberg. For Babelsberg, it is their first participation in the cup competition since 2016 and they will be hoping to see off another topflight side after eliminating Greuther Furth in the last round. The hosts have managed more than a goal in just one of their last five matches, and they have one clean sheet in the process. Both teams have scored in four of the team’s last five matches and in three of the last four at home, they’ve conceded two goals in each. Babelsberg have no win in the last two home matches and three of the last five at home have produced over 2.5 goals.

Leipzig haven’t had a great season so far; Julian Nagelsmann’s departure rocked the team and they haven’t recovered yet, nine weeks into the new season. They should be too strong for Babelsberg though, and coming from a 4-1 win over Greuther Furth will give them the needed confidence. Leipzig have three wins in their last 10 matches, and four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. Away from home, they have one win only in nine and it happens to have been in the DFB Pokal. Having reached the final last season means they have a good run in the DFB Pokal; they have eight wins in 10.
