Hamburg’s first competitive match of the 2026-27 season will see them square up against third division club Verl in the first round of the DFB Pokal. This match at Sportclub Arena on Monday between Verl and the ‘Red Shorts’ is likely to be a goal fest, and our match prediction backs over 3.5 goals.
This is just the seventh time that Verl are playing in the DFB Pokal and the first since 2019-20. Hamburger are three-time winners of this competition, but the last success came in the 1986-87 season. The visitors made it to the round of 16 last year.
Verl were beaten 4-2 at home last weekend in their third division league game. That result made it four defeats out of five (W1), including losses in both the league fixtures.
Playing at home may be the best option for Verl, who lost in their most recent appearance here but had three consecutive wins before that.
Hamburger are yet to play a competitive match, while their pre-season form has been inconsistent. The ‘Red Shorts’ won 2-1 against Toulouse in their last friendly, but it was just the second victory out of five friendlies (D1, L2).
It’s their away form that troubled Hamburg last season, as they had three defeats from their last five competitive trips (W1, D1).

Our SC Verl vs Hamburg Prediction
Verl are slightly ahead of Hamburger in terms of competitive action, as they have already played a couple of league games. That’s where the positivity ends, because both those matches ended in defeats where they conceded exactly four goals. Hamburg’s pre-season form has been all over the place, but they will be confident of finding the goals against a lower division club.
This is the first appearance since 2019-20 in the DFB Pokal for Verl, so they will be determined to make it count. All signs point to an entertaining game, so our SC Verl vs Hamburg prediction is over 3.5 goals.
