The DFB Pokal campaign starts for Borussia Dortmund away at Volksparkstadion in Hamburg when they play fifth-tier side HEBC Hamburg. This first-round match between HEBC and the ‘Prussians’ is likely to be a high-scoring one with our prediction backing over 4.5 goals.
HEBC are in only their second appearance in this competition after winning the Hamburg Cup in May. They have been granted permission to use Hamburg SV’s venue as their home stadium for this fixture. Dortmund’s involvement has been postponed after their Super Cup final.
A 1-0 defeat at home in the fifth-tier league on Friday made it three defeats for HEBC in their competitive season this year. Going back to May, they have now lost eight of their last ten games, winning just two.
That run included five consecutive defeats at home, and although they are playing in a different venue, HEBC are unlikely to see any improvement in their fortunes, especially against a top-tier club.
Dortmund won 2-0 at home against Hamburg at the weekend in the Bundesliga to start their league campaign on a high. This result assuaged the hurt of losing the Super Cup final 2-1 against Bayern Munich. The ‘Prussians’ have now won eight of their last 12 competitive matches, including three wins from their last five away games, and they are likely to target a big win.

Our HEBC Hamburg vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
HEBC Hamburg are playing in the DFB Pokal for only the second time and the first since the 1934-35 season. The gulf in quality and squad strength could be evident on the field, and Dortmund are likely to go for a big win to increase their morale. The visitors are likely to make considerable changes but are still favourites to win by a big margin.
The fifth-tier side could struggle to contain their Bundesliga opponents, which makes us look at the goals market for value. Our HEBC Hamburg vs Borussia Dortmund prediction is over 4.5 goals.
