Bayer Leverkusen and Nurnberg are both coming off defeats in their respective league games at the weekend, but who has the edge in the DFB Pokal tournament? The ‘Black and Reds’ and the ‘Legend’ meet in this second-round match on Wednesday at BayArena with our match prediction backing both teams to score.
The hosts are two-time winners in this competition, with their last title coming in 2023-24. They are the beaten semi-finalists last season and have reached at least the last four in the last three campaigns. Nurnberg were beaten in the first round last season in this tournament while crashing out of the second round in the 2024-25 edition.
Leverkusen lost 3-0 away at Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga last weekend, putting an end to their six-game winning sequence in all competitions. The hosts have also won 4-0 in the first round away from home and bring a four-game winning sequence at this venue, as they look to continue their impressive recent record in this competition.
Nurnberg lost 1-0 at home against Kaiserslautern in the second division league game at the weekend. That continued their recent slide as the visitors remain winless across three games (D2, L1), and even in the first round of this tournament, they were level during regular time before winning via penalties.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Nuremberg Prediction
Leverkusen’s defeat at the weekend saw them lose pace with the leaders in the Bundesliga title race, but this game presents a chance to retrieve momentum. They have been scoring consistently, and that could come to their rescue in this fixture. Nurnberg are also coming off a defeat that saw them drop pace in the second division title race.
Two of the last three matches between these sides saw both teams score, although those came between 2014 and 2019; that is likely to repeat here. Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Nurnberg prediction is BTTS.
